Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 head kale, torn (Lacinato kale or curly kale)
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • drizzle good olive oil
  • pinch salt (or two)
  • 2-3 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Carrot (cut into small batons)

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare the kale. Hold the stem with one hand and then use your other hand to pull the leaf off (it should come off easily). Alternatively, cut the stem out. Add the kale to a bowl, and tear the leaves so they’re relatively all bite sized.
  • Next, add in the salt, lemon and oil and massage for about 20 seconds with your hands. This should wilt the kale and make it very soft.
  • Lastly, add in the carrot and 2 tablespoons of the nutritional yeast to the salad, and gently toss. Serve and add one more tablespoon nutritional yeast on the top.
