Kale and Avocado Salad

Here's a yummy salad that's quick and easy to prepare and another way to use raw kale other than in a green smoothie.


I was listening to a recent podcast with Karen Knowler. She reminded listeners that she has over 300 'how to' videos on YouTube. So this morning I took a look. One of the first ones I ran across was this simple salad - and with two fresh bunches of curly kale in stock - I decided to give it a try for lunch. Karen is thorough in her how to description and in 6 minutes I felt I could duplicate it with no trouble. You can, too!



The image above is what I didn't eat - the bowl was full and I managed to put away two hefty portions. No shy eater, here. But with calorie light fare such as this, one can indulge.

Ingredients:

Kale

Avocado

tomato

red onion

Kalamata olives

Himalayan Salt or Sea Salt

Lemon juice

Amounts will vary depending on how many you plan to serve. I used about 5 stems of curly kale, one ripe tomato, a slice of red onion, diced, half an avocado and 4 quartered olives. That made two generous servings.

Watch Karen's video for step by step instruction. This is a salad I'll be making often.
