Amazing Creamy Kale Salad Recipe

PERFECTLY HEALTHY AND CREAMY

Who thought we would ever see these two words in the same sentence without a catch 22?? Usually the word creammmy means yummmmy, but it also means fattttty!!!

Not this time, all 5 ingredients are healthy:

Kale
Avocado
Carrots
Toasted nuts
Lemon

No oil, no cream or any other dairy products. In fact, it is the avocado that creates the perfect creamy dressing texture, and the lemon juice keep it fresh and green.

 Start by washing your kale leaves and shredding them into a bowl.

 Then grate a carrot, add half to one cup of unsalted toasted nuts (pistachios, walnuts, or even pumpkin or sunflower seeds).

 Throw in your avocado (peeled and cut in half) and squeeze the juice of one lemon.

 With your hands, mix it all together until the avocado blends perfectly and coats all kale leaves of its creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste.    

Note: this salad is even better when it is prepared in advance.

So yummy, you’ll want to eat it all but if there is any left over, unlike any other kind of salads, it will keep very well until the next day.

Enjoy as much as you like!!!
