Have you guys picked up your copy of the Casual Veggie Cookbook yet? If you couldn’t tell from all of our latest posts, we are pretty proud to have contributed to such a unique and creative resource. As one last hurrah to celebrate the release of the cookbook earlier this week, we are sharing some links today to some of the other contributors in the theme of a veggie potluck. Click on the links at the bottom of the page to find some new recipes from the other bloggers that would be perfect to take to your next potluck or holiday gathering.
For our potluck recipe, we created a fresh new salad that is sure to be the hit of your next gathering.
This kale and cabbage salad is an easy salad to make and keeps well in the fridge if you want to make it in advance and take it to a potluck or any get together. It has some almonds, apple and orange slices in it for a little crunch and fruity flavor.
The dressing is simple and has a hint of sweetness from the honey.
We love this salad because the chopped kale combined with the fruit give it a unique texture and flavor. The almonds are just a crunchy added bonus.

It really looks and sounds wonderful! I still have a slice of (red) cabbage in my fridge, which needs to be eaten asap, so I could actually make this. The kale is frozen, I hope that would not matter so much. 🙂
