Kale Avocado Salad

by laurel on October 16, 2010

Here’s the recipe for Chef Matteo’s Kale Avocado Salad. I tried it at the Raw Food Tasting event I attended this week. The recipe is very simple to make, and I love all the crunchiness in salad, thanks to fresh curly kale leaves, carrots, and sunflower seeds. Special thanks to Chef Matteo for sharing his recipe! I will definitely make this one at home for an easy weeknight salad. Kale is a perfect salad green to use this time of year because it loves the cold weather! (See my Frost-Lovin’ Kale post from last winter.)
