Healthy Kale, Brussel Sprout and Cranberry Salad

Chop your curly kale into bite sizes pieces ( 1 head curly kale, about 5 cups tightly packed) and add to large mixing bowl
Then chop your Brussel sprouts into thin rounds and then some you can shred with your knife as well. Depends what kind of bite sized pieces you prefer. Next you will add those to the bowl
After pour your dried cranberries, sliced almonds & parmesan cheese on top
Next take 2 big mixing spoons and toss the dried ingredients. Then you will pour your homemade Mustard Vinaigrette over it and mix it throughly
Cover and refrigerate overnight. That is KEY. You must refrigerate over night. It will taste good, but not FANTASTIC until you let the flavors meld over night, the kale soften by the dressing. All the flavors need to meld, trust me, you will be beyond glad you did!
Then serve!!
