- 4 ounces (about 8 lightly packed cups) baby spinach or mixed greens
- 1 cup shredded cabbage (I like red for color; green is fine, too)
- 1 cup chopped broccoli, optional*
- 1 carrot, peeled and julienned or shaved into strips with a peeler
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup EACH slivered, toasted almonds and salted sunflower seeds
- Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette (or substitute dressing of choice — ranch, blue cheese, apple cider vinaigrette are all great options)
