Ingredients
- 1/2 avocado 53g
- 1 Tbsp. lite mayo 15g
- 2 Tbsp. low-fat Greek yogurt 30g
- 1½ Tbsp. lemon juice 22g
- 1 tsp. dijon mustard 5g
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/3 cup water 90g
- 3½ cups lacinato or curly kale finely chopped (200g)
- 1/2 cup parmesan 50g
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- To a blender, add all ingredients from the avocado through the water. Blend until smooth.
- Tear the kale leaves off of the tough stems. Wad your kale leaves up as tight as possible and chop them fine. Kale is so much yummier when it’s chopped small! Add the finely chopped kale to a large bowl and squeeze with a little lemon if yours has any juice left! Massage with your hands a few times. Toss with the dressing and the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
- We love to add extra avocado, plus toasted pepitas, pistachios, or good old croutons to our bowls. But I’ll let you do that so you can decide and track accordingly. Of course this pairs beautifully with any grilled chicken, steak, shrimp etc.
