Ingredients

Lemon Basil Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon agave nectar or pure maple syrup
  • 2 leaves large fresh basil finely chopped
  • 1 clove small garlic minced

Kale Salad:

  • 1 large bunch lacinato kale chopped, or kale of choice
  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and diced
  • 1 cup grapes halved
  • 1/3 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.
  • Add the kale to a serving bowl and drizzle in desired amount of dressing. Toss well to coat, and allow kale to sit at least 10 minutes to let the acidity from the lemon soften some of the fibrousness of the kale.
  • Add the remaining ingredients for the salad to the serving bowl and toss everything together. Serve alongside your favorite entree, or add grilled chicken to make a meal of it.
  • Add cheese (such as goat or feta) and runny egg as necessary.
