Kale Salad With Avocado for Two

Submitted by Sherri at the Beach

"This refreshing, healthy salad was presented in an uncooking class by the Present Moment Cafe in St. Augustine FL. I love the salad as is, but this version I have added my own inclusion of fresh tomatoes. This sounds strange to do, but believe it is simple and delicious when complete."

SO GOOD!! I loved this! The only small changes I made was to use grape tomatoes in place of plum and yellow onion instead of purple (that's what I had). I loved how the avocado gets so creamy and delicious :) :)

Delightful! We loved it. This was my first time making a kale salad and it turned out so yummy. Thank you!

Very yummy and easy to make. Reminds me of tabouleh minus the burghul. Since my bunch of kale was large, I doubled the red onion and red pepper (1/4 c. each). I used 3 T.. olive oil and 3 T. of lemon juice with additional salt (to taste). One avocado was sufficient. I also increased the tomatoes; I chopped up grape tomatoes equivalent to 3 plum tomatoes. We sprinkled crisp munchies (http://www.food.com/recipe/munchies-lentils-43934) on top. This served 4.

Great idea to add the tomatoes - they give color and sweetness to this salad. Looking forward to trying this with other varieties of greens!

Mmmmmmm! Yummy!! :O) I really enjoyed this salad. My hubby's not a huge kale fan, but he thought this was good "for a kale recipe"! Thanks so much for sharing! :O)
