Ingredients
1 bunch of Kale (Green or Red)
4 Avacados
2 Lemons
3-4 Limes
3 Tomatoes
1/2 Onion
1 teaspoon of cumin
Salt
Pepper
Prep
Wash and Dry Kale
Strip the leafy part of the Kale from the stem (which is bitter)
Break the leaves in to bite size peices and place into a large bowl
Squeeze the juice from the lemons and pour over the kale
Sprinkle some salt on the kale
Gently massage the kale with the lemon juice and salt. Bascially you are “cooking” the kale with this method, like a ceviche, which keeps the enzymes intact.
Using a high speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtech
Cut the Avacados in half and scoop out the avacado into the blender
Squeeze the juice from the limes into the blender
Seed the tomatoes by cutting off the end, and siting your pinky into the tomato pocket holding the seeds. The seeds/liquid can be added to the blender with the avacado and lime juice.
Dice the tomatoes and add to kale
Add cumin to avacado mixture
Blend the avacado mixture until a smooth consistency,
Add sale and pepper to taste and blend again.
Pour the avacado mixture on to the kale and mix
Dice the onions and mix with the kale.
The avacado dressing reduces any bitterness normally associated with kale. And the firmess of the kale gives it a little crunch compared to lettuce.
Enjoy!
