Thea's Marinated Kale Salad

Kale is the new SUPERFOOD! Kale has been popping up everywhere; magazines, markets, and restaurants. Kale tends to be a little course and bitter, in comparison to lettuce. Making a kale salad and marinating it over night helps soften the kale and the bitterness goes away with the marinade.
When I tried this I took a taste and immediately smiled from ear to ear. I am so happy I mixed these flavors and created this recipe! Try it out and let me know how you feel!

Ingredients:
Kale- Finely chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp. Organic Agave Nectar
Bunch of Cilantro- Finely Chopped
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Onion
Juice of 1 Lemon
Salt/Pepper to taste

1. Chop up kale and put in a bowl to the side.
2. In blender or food processor add lemon juice, cilantro, onion, olive oil, agave nectar, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix until smooth.
4. Pour on kale salad.
5. Put lid on salad, and shake up.
6. Put salad in refrigerator over night to marinate.
7. Next day serve.

Tip:
Add grilled salmon, grilled tempeh, or chicken on salad.
