By combining fresh ingredients, a little massaging, and the perfect balance of textures and flavors, this salad is not only delicious but packed with nutrients that will fuel your body and keep you satisfied all day long.
Ingredients:– 4 cups kale (de-stemmed and chopped)– 1 tablespoon olive oil– 1 teaspoon lemon juice– 1/2 teaspoon sea salt– 1/4 cup roasted almonds (for crunch)
– 1/4 cup blueberries (rich in antioxidants)– 1/2 avocado, diced (for healthy fats)– 1/4 cup shredded carrots (for a sweet crunch)– 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added fiber and omega-3s)– 2 tablespoons olive oil-based dressing (or lemon vinaigrette)
Massage the Kale: Start by placing your chopped kale in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil, lemon juice, and sprinkle the sea salt on top. Massage the kale with your hands for 2-3 minutes, breaking down the tough fibers and reducing bitterness.
Add Sweet and Savory: Toss in the blueberries, diced avocado, and shredded carrots. The avocado adds richness, the blueberries provide a burst of antioxidants and natural sweetness, and the carrots offer a crunchy contrast.
Top with Crunch and Fiber: Sprinkle the roasted almonds for a satisfying crunch and add chia seeds for an extra boost of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Dress and Toss: Drizzle your olive oil-based dressing (or a simple lemon vinaigrette) over the salad. Toss everything gently to combine, making sure all the ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
The “Oh Kale Yeah!!” Salad is a complete package when it comes to flavor and nutrition. The massaging step softens the kale, while the colorful mix of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats gives the salad a balanced, satisfying taste.
