Cara Cara Orange Kale Salad
Author:
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of kale (any variety that you prefer will work)
- 3 Cara Cara Oranges, 2 peeled and sliced, 1 juiced
- 1 avocado, peeled and chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- freshly black pepper
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the kale, remove the leaves from the stems and fully dry. Roughly chop kale leaves and place in a large serving bowl. Thinly slice 2 oranges. Using a sharp knife remove the peel from the sliced oranges, and add to the bowl. Peel and chop avocado and add to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the juice from your 3rd orange with 1/3 cup of olive oil. If the orange juices more than a 1/3 of a cup, add more olive oil. The goal is to mix equal amounts of orange juice and oil. Add freshly ground pepper and mix until combined. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently combine. Crumble feta cheese over the salad. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately.
