Ingredients
 

  • 1 large bunch purple kale (stems removed and discarded)
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons avocado (plus the remainder for serving)
  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 red onion (sliced thin)
  • 1/2 cup roasted pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Roll the kale leaves up like a cigar and chop them into thin strips. Add the kale to a large bowl along with the lemon juice, vinegar, honey, olive oil and 1/4 cup avocado. Use your fingers to work the oil mixture into the kale leaves, for 2-3 minutes, or until the leaves start to wilt and are reduced by half. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Top each serving with chopped avocado, goat cheese, cranberries, onion, and nuts, if desired. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil, if desired.

Notes

  • Any type of kale will work here, I just love how the purple looks.
