Rinse the kale in cool water, dry it, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Remove any thick stems from the kale.

Put the kale into a large mixing bowl and massage it with clean hands for a few minutes to make it more tender.

If you did not buy store-bought shredded cabbage, shred the cabbage.

Divide your massaged kale, cabbage, and roasted almonds between four bowls or meal prep containers. Drizzle the apple cider and Dijon mustard vinaigrette over the top of the salad before serving.

To make the apple Dijon dressing, put the apple cider, oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a jar. Shake to mix the ingredients.

If using the salads as a meal prep, keep the dressing in a separate container.
