Kale Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing

So, over NYE I made a delicious kale salad with broccoli slaw. This recipe is a WAY easier version with the same delicious bite. Same prep for the kale, whatever toppings you want and then just dressing. I love using kale in salad because it stays fresh and doesn't wilt like lettuce.



Salad
1 Bunch Kale
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Toppings: Sliced Avocado, Tomatoes, Scallions, Red Pepper, Toasted Almonds

Dressing
1/4 C. Olive Oil
1 Tsp. Honey
3 Limes, juiced
1 Clove Garlic, minced
1 Bunch Cilantro, finely chopper
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Pepper

Wash kale thoroughly. Removed from stems and chop roughly. Place into large bowl and massage with olive oil and salt, until it has reduced in size and wilted a bit. Set aside.

To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender and puree for about 30 seconds.

Plate salad with toppings of choice and serve dressing on the side. You can mix the dressing in, but I keep it separately because the salad will store better.

A recipe jam-packed with flavor and nutrients! Can't beat kale and it's extreme nutritional value either! So pile this salad on your plate and soak in the vitamin A, C & K! (also said to lower cholesterol levels!)
