    Sweet creamy dressing tossed with toasted pecans, tomatoes and crunchy cabbage create this wonderful and surprisingly Low Carb Italian Kale Salad.

    While visiting Alassio, Italy one of the highlights of my trip was a stay at Borgata Cantone B&B.

    Beautiful B&B | Borgata Cantone

    There I learned the fine art of using parsley for more than a garnish.  We were served a dish with a parsley pesto that I fell in love with.  Who knew something with such a prominent flavor could create a cool and refreshing sauce. As we traveled throughout the piedmont of Italy I found several other dishes where parsley was the main flavor enhancer and this American "parsley is a garnish" gal was converted. 

    I created this Low Carb Italian Kale Salad with my visit to Italy in mind.   The creamy dressing is low carb because I use olive oil-based mayonnaise (how Italian is that),    unsweetened almond cashew milk, and low-fat cottage cheese as the base.  Whipping it in a food processor then adding the other seasonings creates a smooth yummy dressing.
