Superfood Kale Avocado Salad

This recipe is simple, versatile and packed with detoxifying greens and nutrient-dense superfoods. You can vary the type of greens, sprouts, herbs and veggies according to what is in season. As far as superfoods go, the more the better!

Ingredients:

1 head kale
1 lemon, squeezed
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 carrot, chopped
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup chopped botija olives, pitted
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
1/4 cup fresh dulse
handful of cashews
handful of goji berries
handful of fresh herbs 
handful of sprouts (try alfalfa, sunflower, daikon, etc.) 

First, take the kale off of the stems. Place in bowl and put salt on the leaves. Start massaging the leaves so that the salt starts to "cook" the leaves, i.e., break down the leaves so that they are "wilted". Keep going until you see green juice start to come out of the kale. Next, massage the leaves with lemon juice. Then, massage the leaves with the avocado until well incorporated. Taste. You might need more lemon juice or more salt. Place in serving bowl and add rest of ingredients. Enjoy!
