Kale and red cabbage salad

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch (about 9 cups) of kale, tough stems and center ribs removed
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 2 tablespoons (tbsp) of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (tbsp) of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup of thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 large apple, cored and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (tbsp) of raisins
  • Half of a medium red onion, minced and soaked in ice water for 10 to 15 minutes and drained

Directions

  1. Roll up each kale leaf and thinly slice.
  2. Add to a large bowl along with avocado, lemon juice, and vinegar.
  3. Using your hands, massage the avocado, lemon juice, and vinegar into the kale leaves until the kale starts to soften and the leaves are coated. About 2 minutes.
  4. Add the red cabbage, apple, raisins, and onion.
  5. Toss to combine.

Notes

Onions are soaked in cold water to mellow their flavor. The cold water keeps the onions super crunchy, while the sulfur compounds that give onion its pungent, harsh flavor will dissipate in the water.
