Kale Guacamole Salad

You guys, I’m in love.  the kind of love I thought I’d never find, certainly not in this way.  With this … thing.

I’m in love with kale.

There!  I said it.  I am in love with kale.

Kale Guacamole Salad

It gets a lot of love and an equal amount of hate.  Like Brussels sprouts (another love) and beets ( a recent love).

But I love kale unabashedly and you should too.  Yes, it is this super trendy food that is everywhere and looks all green and leafy and unpalatable in the store.  It’s not though.  It’s a good ingredient with a rough exterior.

Kale Guacamole Salad

Kale chips are cool, but really, kale belongs in a salad.  It totally takes salads to the next level.  Instead of limp, boring greens like iceberg or leaf lettuce, kale stands up to other ingredients and dressing.

That’s the real secret to a great kale salad: lots and lots of dressing.

Oh, and a good massage.

No really, you have to massage your kale.

I know, that sounds weird, but it only takes a few minutes and it’s so worth it.

Kale Guacamole Salad

Wash the kale, drain it, make sure it’s not super sandy, because sometimes it is, and then put it in a bowl with a few tablespoons of vinegar.  Then you go to work.  Massage that kale.  The vinegar might even turn green as the chlorophyll starts to break down.  Give it a good rinse, dry it, and make the salad.

Your life will be changed.  You will love kale.

Kale Guacamole Salad

Especially when you pair it with all of your favorite guacamole ingredients, including chips, and practically drown it in a citrus and mustard vinaigrette.

This is an awesome dinner to me, but feel free to add some nuts, cheese, dried fruit, chicken, steak, or fish.  The possibilities are really endless.  Kale for life!

    I love kale too! I also love beets, brussels sprouts and all of those good things….
    A friend taught me to massage kale for salads and let it sit in the dressing a bit and it is now my favorite salad green. This salad looks amazing! It never occurred to me to pair it with avocado. That is genius!!!!

    I definitely agree kale needs a good dressing to work well, but then it really can make a good salad – sounds like a tasty mix!
