Collard kale wrap

Raw Kale salad wrap Ingredients
  • 1 large collard green leaf
  • Dino kale and Red Russian kale
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 organic tomato
  • half a cucumber
  • ½ organic lemon
  • Sweet Orange Bell Pepper
  • Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 of Himalayan salt
  • toasted sesame seeds
Raw Kale salad Recipe
  • Wash veggies and your hands
  • Chop up all ingredients in small pieces. No need to chop up the avocado.
  • Put chopped up kale in large bowl
  • Pour in juice from lemon, Himalayan salt and drizzle with olive oil
  • Massage kale until nice and soft
  • Then add in avocado and squish in (avocado, lemon and olive oil are all great for your skin! So dig in there) leave chunks
  • Throw in the rest of the ingredients (tomato, cucumber and orange bell pepper) and mix up
  • Your kale salad is ready to eat:) or place into a collared leaf for a wrap
Notes - I sprinkled toasted sesame seeds into the kale salad. It's great with tahini or hummus, however I decided to keep it simple to lessen my oil intake this week. Also great with finely chopped red onion and sweet relish.
