Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
- Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- 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.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until the kale and avocado are evenly coated in lemon juice and seasonings.
- Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
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.
This Kale Avocado Salad with Lemon and Pepper is not only easy to prepare but also bursting with flavors and health benefits. Enjoy it as a standalone meal or a vibrant side dish that compliments any main course. Happy cooking!
