Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 bunch kale, leaves torn into bite-size pieces (approximately 8 cups)
  • 1⁄8 cup avocado oil
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
  • 1⁄4 cup pumpkin seeds

Dressing

  • 1⁄4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  2. Make salad: In a large bowl, rub kale leaves with oil.
  3. Transfer kale leaves to a roasting pan and roast for 12 minutes, or until leaves become crispy and slightly browned. Set kale leaves aside.
