Winter Super Green Kale Salad
Ingredients
- 1/2 Bunch Kale
- 4 Tbsp Olive Oil Or flaxseed oil
- 1 Lemon Juiced
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tsp Sea Salt Himalayan

- 1 Avocado Chopped into small pieces
- 1/3 Cup Parsley Finely chopped
- 1/2 Cup Almonds Activated, or pecans, pepitas or walnuts

Instructions
- Cut the stems away, rip the leaves into small pieces, and then using your hands massage the kale quite firmly with the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and salt for a couple of minutes. Set it aside to soften for at least 20 minutes. The leaves will also turn a beautiful, vibrant green during this time.

- Toss the kale leaves with the broccoli, avocado, parsley, almonds and cherries. Check for seasoning and serve.
