First, soak the raw cashews for the dressing in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. Then, place cashews, water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, coconut aminos, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a high speed blender. Blend on high until a smooth, even dressing remains.

Step 2: Shred the Brussels and Chop the Kale

Next, either grab some pre-shredded Brussels sprouts or shred them in a food processor, with a sharp knife or on a mandolin. Chop the kale into small pieces. Then, combine both the kale and Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Massage the Dressing into the Greens

Next, pour the Caesar dressing over the kale and Brussels sprouts. Massage the dressing onto the veggies with your hands until the greens are evenly coated.

How long will this kale salad keep in the fridge?

This salad did not last very long in our fridge because it is so good! But it should last for about 48 hours in the fridge after it is dressed.

If you are storing the Caesar dressing separately it will last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
