Amazing Kale Salad

[Jennimik]

I finally got DH to eat a raw recipe!!!!!! This is huge, trust me.

It's 2 heads of kale (dinosaur)
1 avocado
lots of cayenne
sea salt
lots of lemon
cherry tomatoes, chopped

I eat it all the time and he decided to try it last night. He stood at the kitchen counter picking at it intil he said, " Wow, this is really good."

heehee. One step at a time.

That is so cool. I notice my people stand around and eat their raw stuff too - I wonder if they are suppose to stand up and eat it or since it is alive the food might rise up and walk. Just a side bare :D Congrats on your hubby, he'll be on the other side before you know it. My loves deserts and hummus!

Ha ha ha, Sweetlips!!

Hey, Jennimik, do you chop up the kale? Puree the avocado? Or just slice it on top? I've only done kale by marinating it as in Rhio's marinated greens recipe (which are sooo yummy), so I'm eager to try this. Can you elaborate a little? Is it just like a regular salad but you use kale instead of lettuce? Do you cut out the thick rib that goes down the kale leaves? And ..what is dinosaur kale?

[Jennimik]

Dinosaur kale is flatter than the other kinds. It's actually pretty (or do I think that because I love veggies too much!?).

I just throw all the ingredients in a bowl, tearing the kale into little pieces, and leaving the avocado as is. I wash my hands and squish it all together in a bowl. I squeeze the leaves really hard so they break down a bit. It's even better the next day.

oh--another thing--it only took me 10 minutes start to finish to make this for dinner last night!

Thanks so much, Jennimik. That explanation makes all the difference!! Kale is not the most friendly till it's broken down somehow. Now, I've gotta get some more kale and give this a try.
