Peggy's Kale Salad

I had never been to PF Changs until we went to Las Vegas. I had this amazing salad. When I got home I tried to recreate it and it tastes awesome! I will definitely be making this a lot! The following salad makes 3 side salads or 1 large salad that could be an entire meal.

Salad Ingredients:
3 cups chopped kale
2 cups chopped cabbage
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 c cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 c red seedless grapes, cut in half
1/2 c walnuts
1 T pure maple syrup

Directions:
In a large bowl, toss together kale, cabbage, celery, tomatoes and grapes.
In a skillet over medium heat, stir walnuts until hot. Drizzle maple syrup over walnuts and stir for 1 minute. Remove walnuts from skillet and lay on a piece of wax paper in a single layer. Let cool.

Dressing Ingredients:
4 T lime juice
Zest from 1 medium orange
4 T fresh squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 t honey
4 packets Truvia or 2 T sugar or you can use whatever sweetener you like
a few dashes of salt
pinch white pepper
1 cup light extra-virgin olive oil

Dressing Directions:
Place juices, zest, honey, sweetener, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk with one hand while slowly adding the oil with the other hand. When all of the oil is whisked in, serve with your salad. This makes enough dressing for double the amount of salad above. Keep any leftover dressing in the fridge for later.
