This sounds great! I love shredded apples as a “slaw” type salad, and your dressing sounds amazing for it! Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to try it out soon! 🙂

Looks good. I usually don’t eat kale stems (I give them to my dog) but I will try this. (You did mean to shred the “stems”, right?)

Yep, I just shred them with the carrots and celery. I liked the color and crunch. I usually juice my kale stems, though right now I have the rest in my pressure cooker with the week’s veggie scraps. Stock time!

[…] Note that I primarily use avocado oil in cooked and baked recipes. I tend to defer to the lighter olive oil for salads and other raw dishes – though there are a few exceptions, like this Shredded Apple and Veggie Salad with Goji Berry Dressing. […]
