Kale Salad

I never thought I would enjoy eating raw kale so much. This is my go to Kale Salad recipe. Adapted from Healthy Happy Life.

Kale Salad

Ingredients:

1 large bunch kale (I prefer dinosaur kale, not the fluffy stuff, but any type works fine) 
2-3 Tbs sunflower seeds
1 apple, chopped
1/2 large avocado, diced (tossed in lemon juice if your not going to eat it right away)
handful of cherry tomatoes
1/2 small sweet or red onion, sliced thin

2 1/2 Tbs Tahini
3 Tbs seasoned rice vinegar
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp pure maple syrup

Instructions:

Wash your kale, dry well. Pull the leaves off the thick stems. Then, chop the remaining leaves pretty finely, almost shredded. Discard thick stems. Put the chopped kale in a large mixing bowl.

Whisk the dressing ingredients together until smooth.

Add the dressing to the kale, and massage with your hands for a minute or two. It well help soften the kale. This is optional, if you prefer a more crunchy kale, just mix the dressing in without massaging.

Fold in the sunflower seeds. Add the remaining toppings in a lovely pattern on top. Serve!
