Kool Kale Salad: From Christa's Kitchen

So…. I’ve been slacking on my blog posts. Between summer activities with the kids, work,  and family vacations it’s been tough to get something down. I have a new summer time salad that so easy and so goooood I had to make time to get this out to you! You’ll only need 4 main ingredients and 5 minutes.  My son who hates kale and avocado actually loves this salad! Here it is:

What you need:

1 bunch of green kale

1 avocado

1 lime

¼ cup pepita seeds

Salt to taste

1st grab a big mixing bowl. Next tear kale leaves into bit-sized pieces and place in bowl. Discard the stems.

2^nd Sprinkle salt over the kale and scrunch/massage the kale with your hands until it reduces in size. (When you start the kale will be fluffy and after adding salt and massaging the kale will break down and turn a darker green color.)

3^rd Slice open your avocado removing the pit and while still in the skin make small slits lengthwise into the meaty part of the avocado. Then with spoon hollow out the meaty part on top of the kale. Now cut your lime in half and juice only ½ the lime over the kale and avocado.

4^th Massage kale while mashing the avocado into the kale. I do this all with my hands but you can do this with a fork.  Taste the kale after it’s coated with the avocado. Add more lime juice and salt if you want to.  I like things limey so I use the whole lime.

5^th Sprinkle pepitas over the top and lightly toss.

For people who have a tough time eating kale I do believe that this salad will help. I took this salad to a dinner party and it was a big hit! I apologize that I don't have a picture of the finished product but everyone ate it before a had a chance to take one :)
