Rainbow Kale Salad

My kale definitely knows that I appreciate it. Yes, it is messy and takes a couple of minutes to massage those "greens" but the taste is amazing (not to mention, it is much easier to digest)! Use an avocado and lemon to create a creamy dressing! This salad will impress any dinner guest, compliments almost any meal and looks beautiful on a plate. Eating the rainbow is so easy!
