Ingredients
US Customary - Metric

5 cups kale, de-stemmed and shredded or thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch kosher salt
15 oz cannellini beans, canned, drained and rinsed
⅓ cup sunflower seeds
1 avocado, sliced for serving

For the Dressing

1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon maple syrup, can use honey or agave syrup as substitute
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Mix until combined and set aside until ready to serve.
Wash and dry the kale. Add it to a large bowl.
Drizzle the kale with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Take your hands and massage the kale for a couple of minutes. This will release the bitterness that kale can have.
Make the salad: pour the dressing over the kale, followed by white beans, sunflower seeds, salt, and black pepper. Toss the salad.
Add sliced avocado on top and enjoy!
