i know…kale. it’s like, what!? what’s kale and how do i eat it? isn’t it bitter? don’t you have to boil it?

no!

i learned this simple raw kale salad recipe and love it so much i am sharing it with you. easy, cheap, fast, healthy.

for 1 or 2 people, here’s what you’ll need…

2-4 stalks of fresh, washed kale
1/2 of a ripe avocado
the juice from 1/2 a lemon
cayenne pepper
salt
raw agave syrup (if you like)

begin by pulling the leafy sections of the kale off the stalks and placing them in a mixing bowl (the leafy parts, not the stalks). scoop the 1/2 avocado and squeeze the 1/2 lemon into the bowl. sprinkle a dash of cayenne pepper and a bit of salt and then mix it up with your hands, squishing the ingredients together. this can be such a fun, sensual experience as the textures and smells mix together. taste the salad and if it’s too “spicy” with cayenne, you can squeeze a bit of agave syrup to taste and hand toss again…

seriously, people. this is good!
enjoy.
