Simple Kale Salad

It's no surprise that kale is one of our favorites.  A green hearty enough to last a mild winter welcome roughage in a season dominated by starches and proteins.

On a recent visit to the farm, a friend whipped us this easy salad, and we fell in love (with both the salad and the friend).

 

Raw Kale and Avocado Salad

Ingredients

6 cups of kale

1 tsp Grey Celtic Salt (or any large grain salt you have on hand)

One large lemon

2 avocados

 

Instructions

Shredded or chopped or whole leaf, place kale in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt

Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the kale (this helps soften the leaf)

Using your hands, massage the kale with the salt & lemon

Dice the avocado into half-inch pieces and then massage into the kale until pieces are pulverized, allowing the fats to coat the kale leaves

VARIATIONS

add a pinch of cayenne pepper (my favorite)

add a pinch of cumin (can be combined with cayenne)

add chopped tomatoes
