Garden of Plenty Salad
Makes 7 1/2 quarts (7.5 L)
Spend half an hour assembling this recipe and you will have abundant salad for a big gathering or fresh salad, at a moment's notice, for up to 5 days. Store it in one or two large containers with a good seal. To keep salad for more than 2 days, it works well to add the romaine lettuce and red pepper fresh every 2 days. Serve it with Liquid Gold Dressing, Lemon Tahini Dressing, Oriental Dressing, or another favourite dressing.
5 large kale leaves
5 large romaine leaves
5 napa cabbage leaves
1/4 medium head of red cabbage, about 7 ounces (200 g)
1 stalk broccoli, about 10 ounces (284 g)
1/2 small head cauliflower, about 10 ounces (284 g)
3 to 4 carrots, about 10 ounces (284 g)
1 red bell pepper, about 7 ounces (200 g)
Remove the stems from the kale and cut the leaves into matchsticks. Tear the lettuce into bite-size pieces. Cut the napa cabbage leaves in half lengthwise, and slice into 1/4-inch (5 mm) long strips. Slice the red cabbage into thin slices. Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-size florets. The broccoli stem can be peeled and diced. Slice the carrots and red pepper into 1/4-inch (5 mm) strips. Combine and toss all in a large bowl.
