Avocado Kale Salad Recipe

Kale gets no respect. Even after reading this helpful Huffington Post article on the nutrient-rich dark leafy green (which reminds you that kale has more iron per calorie than beef), you still have reservations about it.


Well get over it. Joanna's kickass recipe will change your mind.


JOANNA's AVOCADO KALE SALAD RECIPE

ingredients
2 bunches of kale
4 avocados
2 lemons
1 package teriyaki-flavored tofu, optional
Garlic salt
Salt
(or half this recipe for a small dinner for two)

preparation

  • Wash the kale thoroughly and cut into small strips. Cut around the stem. 
  • Peel the avocados and mash them in a large mixing bowl. Add the juice from the lemons and mash the avocados with the lemon juice. Add roughly a teaspoon of garlic salt and sea salt to taste and stir. 
  • Add to the kale strips to the avocado and stir.
You can keep it fairly simple (above) or add in other ingredients as you wish: pearl tomatoes, grilled zucchini, tofu for added protein, etc.
