One for our no-oil enthusiasts – you asked and we’ve listened! This is a very simple salad that goes down a storm, especially in the warmer months as a tasty side, or as a stand alone dish. Fresh and leafy with creamy avocado and the crunch of green onion, all marinated in a citrus dressing, made with fresh zesty grapefruit juice. Don’t forget to wash your hands, because you’ll be using them in this one.

- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 2-4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 head kale
- 1 ripe grapefruit
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 green onions
- Flake salt & black pepper
Instructions
- Remove kale from stems and rough chop the leaves to bite-sized pieces, transferring them to a large bowl.
- Cut the grapefruit in half, then cut the avocado in half and remove the avocado pit. Chop the green onion while you’re at it.
- Squeeze the avocado from its skin into the bowl. Add green onion, then squeeze in the juice from the grapefruit (I squeeze through a colander to catch the seeds).
- Massage everything into kale leaves. Give it a good deep rub down.
- Season with salt and pepper and let sit for 30 minutes so the kale can soften up a bit.
TIPS:
- To dress this up for cooler seasons, add dried cranberries and pecans. You can also mix it up with both orange and grapefruit juices.
- This makes an awesome side for a summer BBQ too – check out our mains here!
