Step 1: Prepare the Kale
- Start by washing the kale leaves thoroughly. Remove the thick stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
- In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, sea salt, lemon juice, oregano, red wine vinegar, honey, black pepper, and minced garlic. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to create a smooth dressing. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, broccoli florets, sunflower seeds, feta cheese, julienned carrots, toasted almonds, red onion, cranberries, and parsley.
Step 4: Dress the Salad
- Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss everything together until all the ingredients are well-coated with the dressing. Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 5: Serve
- You can serve it immediately or refrigerate it for later. If you do refrigerate it, just give it a quick toss before serving.
