This salad gives you all the benefits that raw kale, beets, and carrots have to offer. No nutrients were destroyed in the making of this salad. You’ll wilt the kale with the heat of your own hands when you thoroughly massage the dressing into the leaves. This is a great way to break down the kale and make it more enjoyable to eat raw. And you get the added benefit of silky smooth hands from the avocado and olive oil.
