Crunchy Kale Winter Salad

I have mixed feelings for kale. It is obviously very healthy and filled with nutrients but it can also be very hard to digest and rough. I go through phases but this salad is one I created years ago and is a go to for me when it comes to kale. I like the addition of crunchy fruits, seeds and soft avocado to help balance out the texture of the kale.

If you have a hard time digesting kale, massage it before you make this salad (or any salad) with some olive oil. It will ease your stomach.
