Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head of curly kale large stems removed, washed & chopped OR 2/3 of a 12 oz bag of organic kale
  • 1-2 lemons depending on lemony preference and size of lemons
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1 raw garlic clove minced
  • sea salt or Himalayan salt
  • ground pepper
  • optional red pepper flakes or cayenne

Method
 

  1. Add the kale to a large mixing bowl. If you are using bagged kale, remove all of the large stems; squeeze the kale in bunches to make sure you get them all. If using loose kale, it's easiest to remove the large stems prior to chopping and washing. You can save the stems for juicing or adding into smoothies.
  2. Once the stems are all removed, squeeze in the lemon(s) and avocado. Start with 1 lemon if you are unsure, you can always add a 1/2-1 more at the end.
  3. With your hands, start breaking down the kale by squeezing it in bunches. Massage in the lemon and avocado so it's dressed throughout.
  4. Add in the minced garlic, salt, and ground pepper to taste. Tong together well. ENJOY!
