1/2 ripe large avocado, peeled, core, and cut into chunks
1 Tbsp olive oil (increase to 3 Tbsp if not using avocado)
1 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed (or use apple cider vinegar during the cleanse)
1 large apple, sweet variety such as Gala or Honey Crisp, unpeeled and finely chopped
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (or try with crushed, lightly roasted almonds or sunflower seeds)
Sea salt and Pepper to taste
1
Wash kale well and strip leaves from heavy stems (reserve stems for use in a future soup or stew).
2
Bunch all leaves together and thinly slice kale.
3
Mix kale well with avocado, oil, and lemon and massage (yes, massage) the mixture for 1-2 minutes (your clean hands are the only effective tools for this task!).
4
Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
5
Ideally allow mixture to sit for 30 minutes to allow kale to wilt and flavors to mingle.
