Down ’n’ Dirty Kale Salad

This is one of our favorite ways to enjoy kale! The avocado–almond butter dressing is creamy and bursting with flavor. Simple to make, filled with flavor and texture, and brimming with plant-powered nutrients! We use this one as a side dish for multiple meals throughout the four-week plan.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado with the almond butter and whisk in the remaining 2 teaspoons of tamari to thin.

Step 3

Pour the avocado mixture over the kale and combine thoroughly with your hands or with tongs, massaging to coat every piece.

Step 6

This salad tastes good a day after making, but not much longer. If you plan on making a portion to enjoy now and enjoying the second portion later, only dress half the greens with half of the dressing and toppings. Store the remaining kale, spinach, dressing, chopped celery, walnuts, and scallions separately until ready to enjoy.
