Waldorf Inspired Kale Slaw
Thanksgiving was a success. I’ve eaten more than my fair share of leftover turkey sandwiches. I’ve consumed more pie than I’d like to admit and I don’t care if I don’t see mashed potatoes until after the new year.
All food consumed this week will have a theme: green vegetables. I woke up yesterday craving greens. The only vegetables I ate over the weekend were heavily covered in butter. Sort of negates the idea, no? So I’ve got to sneak them in over the next week or so before I start making cookies my primary source of nutrients.
I’m not sure if this is a slaw or a salad. It’s kind of both. I love the dishes that are made up of cleaning out the fridge. That’s what happened here. I had a head of kale, a half package of organic broccoli slaw and some apples sitting on the counter. Twenty minutes later, lunch was served. And dinner. And lunch again today.
Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Make sure to check back later this week as I’m going to have the first of many fun giveaways to kick off the season of giving!

- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Gala apples
Instructions
- To make the dressing: combine greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and agave nectar. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
