Servings: 8 people
Calories: 179kcal
Ingredients
- 100 g lacinato kale about 1 small bundle (stems removed)
- 150 g Roma tomato about 1 medium tomato, finely chopped (by hand)
- 100 g red onion about ½ red onion
- 1 small jalapeno cored and seeds removed
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (packed)
- 2-3 garlic cloves depending on size
- 4 medium (ripe) hass avocados pitted
- 2-3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Using a food processor, finely chop the onion, garlic, jalapeno and cilantro. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
- To the processor, add the kale leaves (with stems removed) and blend until finely chopped. See photos in post for reference. Transfer to the large bowl and set aside.
- Lastly, add the avocados to the processor along with the lemon and lime juice and blend until smooth. If you're sensitive to citrus, start with less then taste test at the end and stir in more, if desired.
- Add the blended avocados to the large bowl and stir everything together. Add salt to taste (I usually add about ½ teaspoon) and more citrus juice, if desired. Serve immediately or tore in an airtight container for up 4 days. It tends to stay pretty fresh thanks to the citrus juice but sealing the top with plastic wrap or tinfoil can also help assure it will stay green.
