Every raw foodist has a kale salad recipe that they love and rave about. Most kale salads include a lovely leaf massage with avocado. Well, what if you’re like me and you don’t like avocado? You branch out on your own and create something new!
Crunchy Kale Salad
1 head of Kale
Lemon vinaigrette (juice of 1 lemon, enough olive oil to cut the sour out of the lemon, a bit of mustard to help emulsify)
Any other crunchy veggies you like
Cherry tomatoes
Lemon Pepper
Wash the kale leaves. Separate the leaves from the tough stems. Cut the kale into small, bite-sized pieces. Massage a bit of sea salt into the kale to tenderize and wilt. Toss and massage with lemon vinaigrette. Massaging the leaves again will wilt the leaves a bit more and make them less bitter. Add other veggies. Grind lemon pepper over salad generously. Toss and serve.
This salad fills me up like nothing else.
