BKT Salad ~ Bacon, Kale, & Tomato

Author: Michelle @SimplifyLiveLove.com

Ingredients

  • One bunch kale
  • 1/2 - 1 pound bacon
  • 1 large tomato chopped
  • 1 avocado chopped
  • handful of blue-cheese crumbles
  • sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • juice from 2 lemons
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • sea salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Make the salad dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper, and garlic.
  • Cook the bacon and crumble.
  • Wash the kale, trim it from the stem, tear it into bite sized pieces.
  • Add the dressing to the kale and toss well to coat.
  • Add the other veggies, the cheese, bacon, and sunflowers.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Unlike other salad lettuce, kale is very hardy and holds up well even with the dressing on it. Normally, I would suggest not dressing salads until shortly before they are eaten, but this salad tastes better if it's dressed in advance and all the flavors meld together..
