Kale Salad with Oranges

I found this packaged organic kale salad at my local Whole Foods and I thought what a quick way to prepare this #1 rated plant-based superfood! I added mandarin oranges from a can for speed, but you could add fresh orange sections. Massage the kale with your hands and add a little avocado. This relaxes the kale and makes it more palatable to eat. Yep, get your hands right in there and squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. It's fun! Add walnuts, oranges, the dressing and voila - you're ready to chomp on a super easy, super nutritious kale salad.
