- 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
- 1/2 cup Maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic salt

Instructions
- Prepare the veggies: Chop the kale, red cabbage, and broccoli, then rinse them well under cool running water using a colander. Drain them on paper towels.
- Chop remaining vegetables: Peel and slice the carrots. Wash the red bell pepper and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Wash and finely chop the parsley and drain on paper towels. Clean and chop the green onions.
- Combine salad ingredients: Place all the washed and chopped ingredients into a large salad bowl and toss to mix evenly.
- Add seeds and nuts: Stir in the golden raisins, walnuts, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds, blending them into the salad.
- Chill the salad: Refrigerate the salad to chill while you prepare the dressing.
- Make the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, ginger, maple syrup, garlic salt, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
- Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the chilled salad just before serving. Toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Notes
- For added crunch, you can toast the sesame and sunflower seeds before adding them to the salad.
- Customize the dressing by adjusting the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
- This salad stores well in the fridge for up to 2 days, but add the dressing just before serving to keep the ingredients crisp.
