Ingredients
FOR THE SALAD:
- ⅔ bunch of kale
- ½ tsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup black beans
- ½ cup sweet corn kernels
- ¼ cup shredded carrot
- 1/4-1/2 cup crispy tortilla strips (optional but delicious!)
- 1/4-1/2 cup toasted or roasted pecan halves and pieces
BBQ Ranch Dressing
- combine equal parts of your favorite smoky sweet BBQ sauce with homemade or store bought ranch dressing + adjust to taste
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
- tomatoes
- avocado
- picked red onion
Instructions
- Wash and remove the center stalk/rib from the kale leaves, tearing each leaf into bite-sized pieces as you go.
- Drizzle with olive oil and massage to soften/tenderize the kale leaves. My toddler loves to do this step for me and I love the silky texture and taste of massaged kale.
- Top with veggies from list above and whisk together dressing. Drizzle over salad and enjoy!
Notes
- For the beans and corn in the salad, feel free to use canned, freshly cooked, or frozen. I utilized my stash of crock-pot black beans that I freeze and defrost as needed as well as some frozen organic corn that I simply transfer to the fridge and defrost for an easy addition to meals during the week.
- crock-pot black beans
- If you'd like some added protein, feel free to add shredded chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken would work awesome here), pan-fried tofu, or shrimp!
- Nutrition Facts below are an estimated before dressing using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
