This salad is not only easy, it is delicious! It’s also my most requested recipe.
A delicious way to add this nutrient dense green into your diet.
It’s as good for parties and pot lucks as it is for weekday dinner.
Kale has gotten a lot of good press lately because of it is dense in nutrients. My
hubby even wears a t-shirt that says Kale University!
Prep Time: 10 – 15 Minutes
Serves: 4 – 6 People
Ingredients:
- 1 Bunch Kale (I prefer Lacinato Kale, but any Kale will be delicious)
- 1 Fresh Lemon
- 3 Large Cloves Garlic
- 4 Scallions (more to taste)
- 1 Avocado
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
Into a large mixing bowl:
- Wash and dry 1 bunch of kale.
- Remove thick center rib (save for juicing or soup stock).
- Zest and juice lemon into large bowl.
- Press or mince garlic cloves and add to lemon mixture.
- Add Sea Salt
- Peel avacado, remove seed and mash into lemon, garlic and sea salt.
- Roll leaves tightly like a cigar and with sharp knife slice as thinly as possible.
- Add to bowl with dressing.
- Thinly slice scallions and place in bowl with kale and dressing.
- With clean hands, massage dressing into kale until kale is completely coated.
Optional:
- Add 1/2 TBSP Gomasio
- Slice an additional Avocado for garnish
My Notes….
This salad is not only super easy, dense in nutrition and highly transportable. It is also a huge hit!
The first time I made this I took it to a ‘Girl’s Night’ party and didn’t have any to bring home.
- Can serve up to 8.
- You can easily double this recipe.
- Add more garlic, lemon or avocado depending on your taste.
- It will last in your refrigerator up to 5 days.
- Prepare this recipe at least 1 hour to serving. The longer it marinates the better it tastes.
- The thinner you slice the kale leaves the better marinates and digests.
