kale salad!

alright, after a bit of pestering, here is the [simple yet delicious] kale salad recipe.  i stole the basic idea from the chefs in the SML kitchen last year.  it’s straightforward, delicious, and really good for you.  the lime juice does a great job of “cutting” the kale [no cookin'!] and keeps the avocado from browning too fast [leftovers last a few days in fridge].

starting point:

kale salad ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale
  • 8 oz raspberries
  • 1 mango
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 c sunflower seeds
  • 1/8 c lime juice
  1. cut kale into ~1/2 in. wide strips [serrated knife works best]
  2. cut mango and avocado into small [~1/4 in.] cubes
  3. add raspberries, mango, avocado to kale
  4. dress with lime juice
  5. cover with sunflower seeds
  6. toss, eat!

finished product [pre-toss]:

kale salad
