Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 This definitely sounds worth trying… Sharyn ***** Kale Avocado Salad Serves 2 This is a great way to prepare kale, being difficult to eat raw for most people 'transitioning' to the raw foods diet, when Celtic Salt is used and the kale is massaged, the kale 'wilts' making it easier on digestion and definitely more palatable. This salad is bound to grow to be a staple dish for all who experience it. 1 head kale, any variety is great, shredded 1 c tomato diced 1 c avocado chopped 2 1/2 T olive oil or flax oil 1 1/2 T lemon juice 1 t Celtic Sea Salt 1/2 t cayenne Remove stems from the kale leaves. Roll up the leaves to chop and dice into small chunks. Put them into a bowl and sprinkle on the salt. Massage salt into the leaves for a few minutes then let them sit for at least 10 minutes. The salt breaks apart the cell walls to create a wilting and softening effect. Next, add the lemon juice or raw apple cider vinegar and massage well. The acid helps to further break down the cell walls. The taste of the bitter kale is balanced by the acid and the avocado fat. In mixing bowl toss all ingredients together, squeezing as you mix to 'wilt' the kale and creaming the avocado. Serve immediately. As variation add chopped fresh herbs or choice of diced vegetable. This dish is also great to substitute the kale for chard or spinach. Do not add the fat or acid too early because this will prevent the kale from wilting. This salad tastes better the longer it is allowed to sit and marinate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Sounds good, but I love kale anyway. I like the bitter, sweet taste it has. I would leave out the tomato though - to me kale and tomatoes don't fit. But kale and avocado....YUM! Gayla Always Enough RanchAcampo, Californiahttp://bouncinghoofs.com/alwaysenough.htmlaeranch@...
