Ingredients
- 4 cups kale
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 0.25 cups sliced almonds
- 0.25 cups dried cranberries
- 1 avocado, diced
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the kale thoroughly, then remove the stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Place the kale in a large salad bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the kale and use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale leaves for 2-3 minutes. This will help soften the kale and enhance its flavor.
Step 5
Add the diced red bell pepper, shredded carrot, sliced almonds, and dried cranberries to the bowl with the kale.
Step 6
Toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
Step 7
Top the salad with diced avocado just before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours and serve chilled.
