Southwestern Kale Salad
Raw kale greens are really delicious in salads. Because they are not as tender as softer greens like lettuce, they actually improve from sitting in this citrusy Southwestern style vinaigrette. The citrus cooks the kale, very much like ceviche, adding tremendous flavor. Creamy avocado brings smoothness, roasted corn, sweetness, and black beans, protein. This Southwestern Kale Salad is one tasty, easy meal.

Ann’s Tips and Tricks
Always drain & rinse canned beans before using, no matter what dish you’re making. Canned beans are very high in sodium, even when marked ‘low sodium’. Rinsing will remove a lot of the excess salt.
