Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch of kale
  • 1- 1 ½ avocado
  • 1 15- oz can white beans
  • cup sunflower seeds
  • cup hemp hearts
  • cup pumpkin seeds

Lemon Dressing

  • cup olive oil
  • 1 ½-2 lemons juiced
  • 1 ½ tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by rinsing your kale and chopping into small pieces removing the stem. Then add them to a large bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice and massage with your hands. The massaging process here helps kale become more easily digestible and takes away the toughness
  • In a bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together until combined. I also like grabbing a small container with a lid and shaking them until they’re combined (adds a bit of fun!)
  • Dice your avocado and rince and drain your beans. Add your avocado and beans to your kale then add your seeds.
  • If you are not eating all of your salad now, I would recommend portioning out the amount you’re eating now then topping with your vinaigrette and mix it together.
  • For storage: I recommend storing your salad separately from your dressing to maintain maximum freshness. For this salad, you can pre mix and store in the fridge and it should keep for 3 days. I think it lasts and extra day or two if you keep the dressing separate
