If you're searching for a nutrient-packed, delicious salad that combines robust flavors with fresh ingredients, look no further than this Kale Avocado Salad with Lemon and Pepper. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a healthy lunch or a refreshing side dish.
Instructions:
- Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.

- Remove the tough stems and chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the kale in a large mixing bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
- Using your hands, lightly massage the kale for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften and wilt. This helps to break down the tough fibers and makes the kale more tender.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
- Slice the avocado.
- Add the sliced avocado to the bowl with the massaged kale.
- Pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Add two dashes of black pepper and the remaining salt. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Tips:
- Massage the kale leaves with a small amount of lemon juice or olive oil to soften them and reduce their bitterness.
- Use ripe, creamy avocadoes to achieve a smooth and rich texture in your salad.
- Adjust the lemon juice, salt, and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Consider adding additional toppings like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
- Prepare the salad fresh and serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning.
