Yield

Ingredients
6 cups kale (stems removed and roughly chopped)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt
2 grapefruit
2 avocado
black pepper
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the kale, olive oil, and lemon juice. With your hands, gently massage the kale to combine it with the dressing. After a minute or two, the kale should be tender. Add salt and pepper, adjusting the acidity as needed.
Remove the peel and outer membrane of the grapefruits with a sharp knife. Carefully slice the sections apart, then cut each section in half. Cut each avocado in half, remove the pits, then cut into slices. Add the grapefruit and avocado to the kale, quickly toss, and serve.
Notes
Lacinato kale works well for massaged kale salads, as does baby kale.
