The Commissary had some beautiful organic kale on sale the other day, and I decided to try my hand at a kale salad. I know it's been done a gazillion times before, but I couldn't find a recipe that was exactly right, so I threw some stuff together and this is what I came up with. I could eat the whole recipe by myself.
2 bunches fresh kale, stems removed and torn into small pieces
1TBS olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
Place kale in a large bowl and massage olive oil and salt into the leaves. It will break them down a little bit and make them more tender.
Dressing:
1 ripe avocado
juice of 1 lemon
2 TBS red wine vinegar
1 TBS olive oil
1 TBS mustard
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
Combine and blend with a hand blender. It will be really thick. Add to kale and massage to combine.
Add:
2 TBS each of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, golden raisins, and dried cranberries
1/2 apple, diced
Enjoy!
