USING ORGANIC INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 bunch, washed, dried, chopped fine, kale
  • Himalayan pink sea salt
  • 1/4 – 1/2 C. Olive Oil
  • 3 oz. dried cranberries (Eden are no sugar)
  • 1 Apple (cubed)
  • 2 Grapefruit (scored, use fruit segments and all the juice)
  • 1 Jicama (cubed)
  • 1/2 C. Coarsely chopped,raw, Walnuts

  • 6 Drops Young Living Lemon Essential Oil

Directions

Mix the lemon and grapefruit essential oil to the olive oil and whisk it together. Drizzle over the chopped kale along with sea salt to taste. Work the oil and salt into the kale with your hands.  (This will help the kale break down and not be so tough.) Add all the rest of the ingredients and mix them well. As always, best if made the day before so all the flavors can blend. YUM!
