Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 large bunch(es) curly kale (purple or green – which ever you like)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced + divided in half
- 1 pinch each salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts, grilled + sliced thinly
- 1/2 lb. strips of bacon, cooked very crispy + crumbled
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced thinly
- 1 small bunch fresh dill
Dill Ranch Dressing
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut cream or top part of coconut milk
- 1/3 cup avocado mayo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch each salt and pepper
- juice from 1/2 of lemon (use only 1/2 of the 1/2)
- 1–2 teaspoons hot water (add 1 teaspoon first)
Mix all of the dressing ingredients in a blender until smooth. Add more hot water if you want to thin it out a bit. Pour into glass jar with lid and place in your refrigerator, until needed.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the kale, lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil. Massage the kale with your hands for 30 seconds.
- After the dressing is made and has chilled for at least 30 minutes to thicken up. Drizzle half of it onto the kale. Mix it all together using tongs.
- To assemble the salad, place the sliced chicken, crumbled bacon, walnuts, cucumbers and fresh dill throughout the bowl.
- Serve with the remaining dressing.
Notes
The dressing keeps very well in an air tight container in your refrigerator. I encourage you to double the recipe.
