Make the dressing and prep the kale: Place all dressing ingredients in a glass jar and shake well. Place the kale in a large bowl. Add about 1 tablespoon of dressing and massage the leaves with your hands for 2–3 minutes until soft and tender. 2. Combine salad ingredients: Add the chopped green and red cabbage, shredded carrots, diced apple, raisins, dried cherries, pepitas, sunflower seeds, and Parmesan to the bowl. 3. Dress the salad: Start by adding about half of the remaining dressing. Toss everything together, taste, and gradually add more dressing until the salad reaches your preferred flavor and texture. 4.
