Lemon Avocado Massaged Kale Salad - quick and easy three ingredient salad that packs great flavor and nutrients! customize with your favorite toppings or enjoy as is!
I cannot stop laughing.
Three friends from high school and I have been playing a new game on Facebook. No, not one of those games - I'm not going to start asking people to tend my farm or fight my dragon. It all began with this photo - (which I just discovered is an actual book!!) and some funny comments listing some hilariously random articles that "Liz Has In Her Handbag".
Since then, we have been posting photos of people with handbags, sometimes just the handbag, onto our walls, tagging each other, asking "What's In The Handbag?" The more random the answer the better (we are incredibly witty at times), and I have been laughing so hard I cry.
...which I completely need and I welcome that laughter and silliness.
Totally unrelated in every way except for being the Things I Cannot Stop category, I cannot stop massaging kale. I cannot stop chiffonading kale. After enjoying grapefruit kale chiffonade for about 12 days in a row, I started changing up the flavors, or massage oils, if you will.
This is my newest favorite. I I made a two ingredient version of my avocado sauce to massage into this simple Lemon Avocado Massaged Kale Salad, bringing complex flavor.

Just wanted to tell you I've got my hands ALL OVER a bunch of kale right now... and I'm thinking of you.
WOW that sounded dirty, and all I was aiming for was *inspired*.
(and my bag has a flask of tequila, a glass nail file, two lipsticks, two books, a bag of raw almonds, sunscreen, one journal, my phone and my wallet.)

AND you get bonus points for the tequila - LOVE it!
