With warm temperatures abound (finally!), salads seem to be the perfect cooling meal. And this is one of my staples. I love, love, LOVE this salad! It’s super easy to make and the kale and hemp seads are the perfect pairing of energy-boosting chlorophyll and superfood goodness. Plus, the heart-healthy avocado adds the perfect amount of creaminess.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and halved, + 1/2 avocado chopped into bite-size cubes
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- 2 Tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) hemp seeds
- 1 pint (550 mL) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tsp (5 mL) kelp granules
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
Directions:
- De-stem kale, tear into small pieces, and place in large bowl.
- Add avocado, salt, and lemon juice, and massage until wilted. Add hemp seeds and mix well. Top with chopped avocado and cherry tomatoes. Season lightly with kelp granules and cayenne.
