I used to be the worst salad maker ever! I would make a salad and bring it to the office and be so bored when lunch-time came around. Am I the only person who waits for an acceptable hour to eat lunch because I’m just so excited? Well I quickly stopped bringing homemade salads because it was always such a disappointment.
If you can relate, then I have your quick fix and you’re going to be wishing lunch-time to come even faster! My Massaged Kale & Avocado Salad is so good but almost more importantly, so easy that you won’t believe it. Feel free to add in additional protein (salmon, grilled chicken, walnuts, pumpkin seeds etc.) to keep you full longer but don’t be fooled by the short ingredient list, this salad has it goin’ on.
- 1 bunch kale, ribs removed
- 2 avocados, cut into pieces
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon red onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon pink himalayan sea salt (or more to taste)
- In a large bowl, add garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and salt
- Add cut up kale and massage well with your hands for about 1 minute (or until kale starts to soften)
- Add in onions and avocado and continue to massage ingredients together
