Last night, I watched Karen Knowler's YouTube video on how to make kale salad. So naturally, today I made it (right?)!
Actually, I happened to have some awesome kale from the Olympia farmer's market that was headed for the juicer, so I just repurposed it (grabbing some avocado and "himalayan" salt after lunch at Marlene's).

The salad:

• rip kale in small pieces (saving stems for juicing)
• add generous amount of olive and flax oil, and massage into kale (with the aim of softening it up)
• add salt (to taste)...massage...
• add juice of 1/2 large lemon...massage more...
• cut avocado into small pieces, add and MASSAGE most of it into the mixture (a few chunks were nice)
• we like spicy, so we added some cayenne at the end (and think we might add some cherry tomatoes next time)

Takes a bit of chewing, but the overall effect is very nice (bright from the lemon, and salty, but creamy from the oils and avocado). And it took under 10 minutes to make!!!
