A little too much apple pie or one too many cocktails on 4th of July? No worries my friends! Rather than spending time feeling guilty for overindulging or trying to punish ourselves to make up for it, I’m all about starting fresh and fueling up on healthy, nourishing meals that make me feel my best. (More tips for mindfully indulging here!) After treating myself over the holiday weekend, I’m craving all the greeeeens today and this Kiwi Avocado Salad is calling my name! It’s super refreshing with the juicy kiwi, fresh mint, and lemony dressing and has lots of crunch from the celery and romaine. I love a salad with some good texture and crunch and this one definitely has both! Don’t you feel healthier just looking at it!? Pair it with your favorite protein and you’ve got a perfect meal to get you back on track!

1 bunch Tuscan or Lacinato kale, stems removed and leaves chopped

2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup pistachios or chopped almonds (not pictured but a great addition!)
2 tbsp fresh mint

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
Optional: 1 tbsp raw honey
Salt & pepper to taste
Serves 2-3
- Combine romaine, kale, celery, mint, and radishes in a large bowl.

- Add sliced avocado, kiwi, and pistachios on top (so they don’t get lost at the bottom of the bowl) and gently toss again. Enjoy!
