Steps
Rinse the kale and spin it dry or pat very dry in a colander.
In the colander, add ½ tsp salt to the kale and massage it for 10 seconds. Set aside.
In a large serving bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients so they are smooth and incorporated.
Add the massaged kale, then beans, avocado, pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds. Toss again to incorporate. Note: if you are making ahead of time, add the avocado and seeds right before serving so the avocado stays green and the seeds stay crunchy.
Enjoy!

Jenn on 2025-01-24 (5 stars): Sooo yummy! And so simple!
Kim on 2025-01-22 (5 stars): Delicious, I knew I was going to enjoy but even my husband and teenage sons loved it! I skip the hemp seeds and use sunflower and pumpkin.
Andrea on 2024-08-06 (5 stars): Loved it!!! Normally I’m not a big kale fan but this was so so good! And it comes together quickly.
Stacy on 2024-08-06 (5 stars): This was absolutely delicious! I was going to add some grated ginger to the dressing but decided to trust the recipe as written and am so glad I did! The flavors were all perfectly balanced and so yummy. Plus so full of fiber and protein with all the beans and seeds (I didn't have hemp hearts so left them out, but I didn't miss them). Thank you!
Mimi on 2024-07-23 (5 stars): SO delicious and filling! Being able to throw this together quickly in one bowl is a game changer and I'm excited to meal prep this for lunch. We also added pesto grilled chicken for extra protein but the salad is filling enough that it really doesn't need it!
Kathy Ansari on 2024-07-22 (5 stars): I loved this and so did my guests! I added grilled chicken which was nice. I also mixed in some red kale. The dressing is amazing!
