Shredded Apple and Veggie Salad with Goji Berry Dressing

Yesterday I was craving raw food all day. When I got home I opened up the fridge to discover that it was definitely time to grocery shop. Though the shelves were bare, I managed to come up with a fast, easy and crunchy dinner.

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!

  Aren’t the stems amazing? I love them in fresh green juice, too.
