My Favorite Kale Salad Recipe!

Kale is one of the best foods for you. In fact, it is ranked 1000 (the highest)  on Dr. Furhman's Nutrient Per Calorie Density list. Eating greens should be a big part if not the majority of your diet. Below, is my favorite way to eat raw kale.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1)     Take the head of kale (or bag, if you bought it that way) and remove all the stems. This will make the entire dish 100% easier to chew.

2)     Take a fresh lemon and squeeze it onto the leaves. The lemon takes the place of the vinegar that would be in the typical salad dressing. Add lemon according to your taste.

3)     Take 1-3 cloves of fresh garlic, and press them onto the salad. This also should be added according to your taste.

4)     Take a small amount of olive oil and add it to the salad. Optional.

5)     Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese or vegan cheese onto the top of the salad. Optional.

6)     Add some bread crumbs. They should be added according to your taste as well. But make sure not to go overboard! Optional.

7)     Add as many veggie toppings as you want to!

Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes so the juices absorb into the kale, making it easier to chew.

Toss and Serve!

Instead of using the olive oil, you can sprinkle the salad with walnuts or chop in some avacado. That way you are still consuming fat, (which helps to digest hearty foods), but instead of concentrated fat, you are eating it in it's more natural stage.
