Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 60 ml lime juice freshly squeezed
• 30 ml olive oil
• 15 ml honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
• 200 grams kale washed, stems removed, and chopped
• 2 medium avocado peeled, pitted, and diced
• 1 whole jalapeño seeded and finely chopped

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add 60 ml of freshly squeezed lime juice, 30 ml of olive oil, and 15 ml of honey. Whisk together until the honey is fully dissolved. Dressing is smooth and well combined.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to the dressing. Whisk again to incorporate the seasonings. Seasonings are evenly distributed.
3. Add 200 grams of washed, stems removed, and chopped kale to the bowl with the dressing. Massage the kale with your hands for about 1-2 minutes to soften it and enhance flavor absorption. Toss thoroughly to ensure the kale is well coated. Kale is softened and evenly coated with dressing.
4. Gently fold in the diced avocado and, if using, the finely chopped jalapeño. Toss lightly to combine without mashing the avocado. Avocado and jalapeño are evenly distributed without being mashed.
5. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference. Seasoning is balanced to taste.
