Lean Green Kale Salad
Although this is a raw kale salad recipe, trust me - it's good! I'll show you the technique of massaging kale to make it softer in both flavor and texture. This technique changed my feelings about kale, and I've served massaged kale salads to many a kale-hater and have surprised them with how good it can be.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp maple syrup, or another sweetener
- 4 cup kale, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Juice the lime into a jar and add the vinegar, oil, mustard and maple syrup. Sprinkle a pinch of salt in, put a lid on it and shake. Leave the dressing aside for the flavors to combine while you assemble the salad.
- Chop the kale and put it into a large salad bowl. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over it, and massage it with your hands until it starts to wilt. Add the broccoli, pepper and avocado to the bowl. You can also massage the broccoli and pepper with a pinch of salt to soften their flavors.
