as Promised - KALE SALAD

Kale is a great food. One serving contains your daily recommended serving size of calcium, vitamins A and K; kale is rich in b-vitamins and essential minerals making it an excellent addition to any meal.
Here is my favorite way to eat kale.

Kale Salad

ingredients:
4 C chopped Kale
2 t Chunky sea salt
2 T fresh lemon juice
1/4 C Olive oil
1-2 chopped tomatoes
1 avocado
1 C clover or alfalfa sprouts
1/4 finely chopped red onion (you can also use shallots)

Combine kale and salt in large bowl. Using your hands, massage kale and salt gently in a kneading motion, being sure to coat all the leaves. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes. Add in lemon juice and massage again. Let rest for a few minutes. Add olive oil and massage once more. Add the remainder of the ingredients, tossing thoroughly. et...voila, your kale salad is ready!

note: Always use organic veggies when possible. I recommend Celtic Sea Salt, if possible.
