SuperPower Kale Salad

KALE: the most amazing green leafy vegetable!

Yesterday, I made the most delicious kale salad ever. Really. You HAVE to try it. Here's how it's done:

SuperPower Kale Salad

1 large bunch of green curly kale (or purple)

1 Hass avocado

juice from 1 1/2 lemons

1/2 cucumber, chopped

1 cup chopped broccoli florets

1/2-3/4 cup shredded carrots (or chopped)

2 TB raw sunflower seeds

2 TB hemp seeds

1 TB Creole seasoning (or salt + cayenne, etc) (optional, but adds a nice kick!)

Put everything in a very large bowl, including the scooped out avocado (minus the pit). Wash your hands well. Now massage the avocado and juices into the salad with your hands for several minutes, wilting the kale. Eat!
