Ingredients
- 1-2 bunches of kale leaves , stems removed (about 6-10 ounces)
- 1 ripe avocado
- Juice of one lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger , minced
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh garlic , minced
- Nama Shoyu , or tamari, to taste
- 5-6 drops liquid stevia (or honey, to taste)
Instructions
- To get started, simply scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado, and mash it together with the lemon juice, ginger, garlic, Nama Shoyu and liquid stevia.
- When you've got what looks like a smooth guacamole, add in the raw kale leaves and start using your hands to massage the dressing throughout. Squeeze well between your hands, almost like kneading bread dough, for a good 2-3 minutes.
- When the leaves are dark and wilted, give them a taste to make sure the flavor is to your liking. Adjust any flavors as necessary.
- Add your favorite toppings, such as roasted red peppers and green onions, and enjoy!
