- 1/4 cup raw walnuts

- 3 tablespoons dried cranberries *
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
For Dressing:

Instructions
- Place chopped kale in a large serving bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Use your hands to massage the kale leaves with lemon juice until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Allow leaves to sit 10 minutes to allow lemon juice to break down some of the fibers.
- Add remaining salad ingredients to the serving bowl. Drizzle desired amount of avocado oil and lemon juice over the salad, and sprinkle with sea salt. Toss well until combined. Serve and enjoy!
