Kale, Avocado, and Black Bean Salad image

Our family loves this when we are in the mood for something healthy and satisfying. Even my meat-loving husband loved it! My vegetarian daughter thought this was awesome too. Next time I might try adding cranberries, or substituting pepitas for the pecans.

Time 28m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper (seeds and membranes removed)
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
sea salt to taste
1 large bunch kale, ribs removed and leaves thinly sliced
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 avocado, diced
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
⅓ cup pecans
1 teaspoon white sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, honey, cumin, coriander, and sea salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
  • Place kale in a bowl and sprinkle sea salt over kale. Massage salt into the kale until leaves are darker in color and fragrant. Drizzle enough dressing over kale to lightly coat. Gently fold in black beans, avocado, and feta cheese.
  • Place pecans into a skillet and sprinkle sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt over pecans; cook and stir over medium-low heat until fragrant and sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool pecans and chop.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really enjoyed this salad. The avocado and black beans helped to balance out the bitterness of the kale.
