Spinach, Kale and Avocado Salad with Buttermilk Dressing Recipe

Serves 4

6 ounces kale, leaves only (remove stalk)

1 avocado

¼ cup pomegranate seeds

2 tablespoons roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

For the Buttermilk Dressing

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

With your hands, “unzip” the kale leaves away

from the stalk. (Freeze the stalk for vegetable stock, or chop to add to stir fries.) Halve and pit the avocado. Slice into cubes. In a large serving bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients. In a mason jar, combine all of the dressing ingredients. Secure tightly with lid and shake until mixed well. Drizzle onto the salad.
