This deliciously rich salad riffs on a popular kale salad from Erewhon grocery stores in L.A. The flavor of this fabulous combination with sunflower and pumpkin seeds plus hemp hearts and avocado is so satisfying. It's high in fat but couldn't be more anti-inflammatory.
Wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds, lathering with soap, and rinsing with running water for 20 seconds.
In a small bowl, set aside a Tablespoon each of olive oil and lemon juice.
Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients in a bowl or measuring cup. Or, combine them in a jar and shake well to emulsify.
Salad Instructions
Retrieve the small bowl of olive oil and lemon juice and gently rub and massage these ingredients into the kale. Let the kale rest for at least 10 minutes and up to an hour.
Place the rested kale in a large bowl. Add the white beans, avocado, tomatoes, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, and hemp hearts.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss to combine.
Serve as desired with Parmesan cheese and/or croutons.
