An almond butter-avocado dressing takes away the bitterness of kale, and creates a delicious, colorful salad that's super healthy for your gut!
Servings 4 large servings
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 2 tsp soy sauce (or alternative like tamari, liquid aminos)
- 1 large handful spinach or spring mix
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 carrot
- 1 apple
- 1-2 green onions
- 2 TBSP chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup raisins, craisins, or other dried fruit (optional)
Dressing
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 TBSP almond butter
- 1 TBSP soy sauce
Instructions
- Wash the kale thoroughly and de-stem it by pinching the stem and sliding the leaves off. Chop small. Put into a bowl and pour the 2 tsp soy sauce on it. Massage the soy sauce in with clean hands until kale is bright, more limp, and takes up less volume in the bowl.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado and stir in the almond butter until creamy and smooth. Add in the soy sauce. Mix the dressing with the kale until evenly coated.
- Chop the celery and apple, grate the carrot, slice the green onions, and toss all the ingredients together.Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy! Keeps well for about 1 day.
