  • juice of 1 small lemon (about 2 Tbsp.)
  • 2 Tbsp. high quality natural honey
  • ½ tsp. flaked salt
For the salad:
  • 1 bunch kale (about 6 oz.) washed, de-ribbed, chopped
  • ½ bunch radishes (about 4 oz.), washed, trimmed, cut into thin half-moons.
  • 1 extra large apple (about 10 oz. whole) quartered, cored, chopped
  • 1 avocado (about 8 oz. whole), peeled and pitted, cut into small thin slices.
  • 3 Tbsp. sunflower seeds

To make the dressing.
  1. Peel and mince ginger.
  2. Juice lemon.
  3. Heat honey very briefly in microwave (to more easily pour and mix it with the lemon).
  4. Whisk together honey and lemon, add minced ginger (the salt will be added to the greens later.)
To make the salad.
  1. Wash kale, rip each leaf from its central rib, spin dry, chop.
  2. Wash radishes, trim away top and bottom, halve, cut into thin half-moons.
  3. Halve, core, peel and slice the avocado.
  4. Quarter, core, and chop the apple. Immediately toss the apples with a little of the dressing to keep them from browning.

  6. Arrange greens on plates.
  7. Top with the avocado, apple, radish, and sunflower seeds.
