Servings: 6 to 8 side-portion servings
prep time: 15 minutes
assembly time: 5 minutes
total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients: What You need to buy!
Ingredients: To make the Salad
1.5 cups of finely diced Palmetto Gardens Turnip Greens
1.5 cups of broccolini florets, chopped into small, bite-sized pieces
1 medium red onion, diced small
1 cup of fresh blueberries
1/3 cup of pumpkin seeds (or sunflower seeds)
3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (I used a dairy-free version)
Ingredients: To make the Dressing
1/4 cup of Maple Syrup
3 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
1/4 cup of Olive Oil
2 tablespoons of sour cream (I used a dairy-free version)
2 tablespoons of Poppy Seeds
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions: What You need to do!
To begin, remove the broccolini from the stems so that you get small, bite-sized, pieces...about the size of a nickel.
Finely chop your Palmetto Gardens Turnip Greens so they easily incorporate into the broccolini.
Dice your red onion.
Into a large bowl combine the broccolini, chopped turnip greens, onion, blueberries, cheese, and pumpkin (or sunflower) seeds
Gently toss to incorporate.
To make the dressing, whisk the sour cream and maple syrup until well combined. Do this step first to avoid lumps.
Continue whisking and add in the apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Whisk until smooth.
Stir in the minced garlic and the poppy seeds, along with the salt and pepper.
Taste for seasoning. For a more tangy dressing add another splash of apple cider vinegar...or if you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a bit more maple syrup.
Gently pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine well. Keep cold before serving.
