💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is rich in healthy fats and has a high smoke point.

quinoa

🥗Healthier: farro

💰Cheaper: brown rice

Farro provides a nutty flavor and is often less expensive.

cherry tomatoes

🥗Healthier: sliced bell peppers

💰Cheaper: regular tomatoes

Go to the garden to harvest ingredients for the salad.

Wash the kale greens in a salad spinner and give them a quick spin.

Chop the kale leaves, including the stems, into bite-sized pieces.

Roll up the cabbage leaves and cut them into ribbons before adding to the kale.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, and honey to make the dressing.

Mix the chopped kale, cabbage, and dressing together in a large bowl.

Add slivers of almonds to the salad and toss everything together.
