Shredded Kale and Orange Salad
Prep time
Total time
Raw kale can sometimes be a little tough, but when it's been finely shredded and gently massaged with dressing, it's downright delicious. Here, it's paired with bright orange, buttery avocado and briny olives to make a healthy and flavourful salad.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 navel orange, peeled and cut into segments
- 1 small avocado, cut into bite-sized chunks
- ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ¼ cup oil-cured black olives
- ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Remove the tough centre ribs from the kale and discard. Finely julienne the leaves.
- In a large bowl, combine the kale with olive oil and salt. Gently massage the dressing into the kale for about 3 minutes.
- Add lemon juice, honey and black pepper, and massage again. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavours to blend, then gently toss in the remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
