This is such a fresh salad and so good for you. If you haven't already incorporated kale into your diet you should! This salad is bright in color and perfect for spring and summer. You can use any oil you want and you can top it with other nuts if you prefer, but always keep the oil and lemon because they make the kale softer and easier to digest.
Raw Kale and Avocado Salad
Ingredients:
1 bunch of Kale
2 tbsp Flax Oil
1 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt
1 Avocado
1/4 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes
Juice from 1/2 a Lemon
2 tbsp of Flax Seed
So start off with a head of kale (I used the curly variety) and clean and dry it. Cut it into small bite sized pieces and set in a large bowl, throw away the stems. Next add 2 tablespoons of your desired oil. I personally used flax oil but you can use olive oil, hempseed oil, or any other oil you have on hand. Then add 1 teaspoon of sea salt and mix in by hand. This is where the fun part is.....this is a very tactile recipe, use your hands to really massage the oil into the kale. Get it all covered and then set it aside. Next use 1/2 to a full avocado, you can cube it and add it or do what I did and just add it to the kale and massage it in like the oil. Now just toss in the sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice and sprinkle on the flax seed. You can also add green onion, olives or other veggies if you'd like.
