- Packed with antioxidants
- Belongs to the cabbage family
- Neutralizes free radicals (free radicals can turn our 'healthy cells" to cancer cells)
- Keeps our eyes and vision healthy--protects against age-related macular degeneration
- 1 cup of kale provides more than 100% of the daily value of Vitamins A, C and K
- Because it is an excellent source of Vitamin K, it promotes bone formation and strengthening
- Has minerals like copper, sodium, potassium, iron, maganese and phosphorus
- Place the thinly sliced shallots/onions in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes, then drain, this will remove the pungency and raw "bite"
- In a large salad bowl, place the kale, mushrooms, avocado, salt and the juice of 1 lemon. Rub and squeeze the mixture with your hands until the kale begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, spinach, carrot, tomatoes and shallots/onion and mix gently with your hands just to combine. Add the slivered almonds and nutritional yeast, and stir to combine.
- Taste and add more salt and the juice of the second lemon if you think it needs it. I added the juice from 1/2 of the second lemon.
