Kale, Avocado Salad

Kale is considered a super food. Although many are driven away by its bitter taste and plastic texture, kale should be a part of everyone’s diet. It is extremely high in fiber and an excellent source of beta-carotene, vitamin A and calcium. It is said to help fill you up and keep you satisfied for an extended period of time.

Once you know how to cook with it, I promise you will lighten up to this vibrant green. I like to use lemon when eating kale raw. It cuts that bitter taste and completely transforms into a unique, delicious flavor. The buttery, smoky flavor from the nuts, coupled with the sweetness from the tomatoes, makes this a delicious salad.
