Broccoli and Kale Salad with Blueberries and Coconut Recipe
Description
Broccoli and Kale Salad with Blueberries and Coconut Recipe features chopped broccoli and kale tossed with shredded coconut, toasted sliced almonds, and fresh blueberries. The salad is dressed with a homemade dressing of melted coconut oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and sea salt.

The mixture is combined in a large bowl and tossed with the flavorful dressing to coat all ingredients evenly.
