Raw Red Pepper Collard Salad

For dinner I made a massaged collard greens salad with a red bell pepper dressing, here is the recipe!

Red Pepper Collard Salad:
  • 1 head of collard greens
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or ACV
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
      Dressing:
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or ACV
  • 1/4-1/2 orange (depending on how sweet you want the dressing, you can also substitute this for a little bit of water if you don't want it sweet at all)
  • can add fats like olive oil, avocado or soaked nuts (I added 1/2 cup of soaked cashews)
  1. Chiffonade the collard greens (de-stemmed if preferred)
  2. Chop the garlic
  3. Mix together along with the lemon juice or ACV.
  4. Massage for a few minutes until wilted. 
  5. Mix the dressing ingredients in a blender for 30 seconds or until smooth
  6. Pour over salad, mix, add topping such as nuts or avocado, and enjoy!
