Description

Thinly sliced kale leaves are massaged with avocado and lemon juice then tossed with pistachios, hemps seeds, and grapefruit segments in this massaged kale salad. This vegan and gluten free salad comes together in just 15 minutes and doesn’t require cooking!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 bunch of lacinato kale (or other kale of your choosing)
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1 lemon or lime
  • 1 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 1/4 cup raw pistachios
  • salt/pepper
  • 1 grapefruit

Instructions

Remove the stems/ribs of the kale and either set them aside for another dish or feed them to your compost. Slice the leaves of the kale into thin ribbons and add them to a bowl along with the flesh of the avocado and the juice of half of your lemon or lime. Using your hands, massage the avocado and lemon juice into the kale leaves until they are evenly coated. Leave this to sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the kale to soften.

Toss in the hemp seeds and pistachios and season with a bit of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Toss then taste and add more lemon or salt as needed. Cut the top and bottom of the grapefruit off, then carefully cut off the skin and pith. Using a paring knife, carefully cut out segments of the grapefruit. Top the salad with the grapefruit segments and enjoy!
