For the Creamy Dill Ranch:

- 1/3 cup pickle brine
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 tsp dried dill
For the salad:
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 3/4 cup green cabbage, chopped
- 1/2 cup red cabbage, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, optional
- 1/3 cup radishes, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
For the crunchy dill panko breadcrumbs:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

For the Creamy Dill Ranch:
For the crunchy dill panko breadcrumbs:
Add olive oil to a small saute pan set over medium heat.
Grate the garlic directly into the pan. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add panko breadcrumbs, dill, and white vinegar powder. Stir to combine.
Allow mixture to sit over heat for about one minute. Shake the pan: the breadcrumbs should be starting to turn golden brown. Continue cooking until breadcrumbs are completely browned. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool as you assemble the salad.
To make the salad:
Combine the kale, romaine, cabbages, radish, and dill in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with the creamy dill ranch and top with the crunchy dill panko breadcrumbs. Toss to combine.
Serve with additional dill panko breadcrumbs and fresh dill. And sure - you can add chopped pickles, too!
