The BEST Kale Salad

This is THE BEST kale salad because we massage the greens so they become soft and silky.  With kale, avocado, walnuts and pomegranate seed, it packs a nutritious punch while being a delicious-to-eat superfood. It pairs very well with the Lemon Balsamic dressing, but you can use any vinaigrette you like. Try taking this one to a dinner party as a beautiful side salad!
