This massaged kale salad features a ripe avocado, along with a handful of other fresh ingredients, creating a tasty balance of flavors. Keep in mind that you can adjust any of the ingredients to suit your own personal taste.
1-2bunches of kale leaves, stems removed (about 6-10 ounces)
1ripe avocado
Juice of one lemon
1/2teaspoonfresh ginger, minced
1/4teaspoonfresh garlic, minced
Nama Shoyu, or tamari, to taste
5-6drops liquid stevia(or honey, to taste)
Instructions
To get started, simply scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado, and mash it together with the lemon juice, ginger, garlic, Nama Shoyu and liquid stevia.
When you've got what looks like a smooth guacamole, add in the raw kale leaves and start using your hands to massage the dressing throughout. Squeeze well between your hands, almost like kneading bread dough, for a good 2-3 minutes.
When the leaves are dark and wilted, give them a taste to make sure the flavor is to your liking. Adjust any flavors as necessary.
Add your favorite toppings, such as roasted red peppers and green onions, and enjoy!
