If you have gone through the sections of this blog you would quickly figure out that I love salads. But there is one that I really cannot chew down. The salad with fresh kale. Somehow, I find it really hard to keep chewing it though it may have the best of nutrition or most wonderful dressing. Either way, I am out. However, I love the green idea of kale and it is one of the easiest available greens for me. So, it still tops my list of good greens.
Here is one way I can have it –kale sandwiches with Mediterranean spices.
I am tolerable to kale in my smoothies too. It is a work in progress, but getting there. When I was thinking of more ways to add it in this is the thought that ran in my head. Most kale salads have avocado in them So how about a handful added to a good base of guacamole, say make it kale guacamole?
Let’s get to make kale guacamole.
To start with I resorted to the dark leaf, deep green curly kale that was cleaned and deveined. I went a couple of more steps to make that kale not do difficult to chew on. Pulsed it till it was cut really smooth in the food processor before adding the avocado. Then for the guacamole, I love the simplest form if the guacamole to use as a dip.Thedetails of the ingredients and quantities for kale guacamole are in this recipe card.

Kale guacamole looks good. It is an innovative way to use kale in guacamole. I am yet to try this one Seema.
I too am not a huge fan of kale unless it is the more tender baby kale. Love how you’ve added it to a guacamole recipe. Was looking for a different kind of dip for the Christmas party and found it. Kale guacamole will be gracing the table.
I am not a great fan of kale. But your kale guacamole sounds so innovative. Perfect to grace the table this festive season. Would love to try it .
Okay, I can safely say that Kale Guacamole is the way I think I will like Kale. Definitely not a vegetable I am happy to eat. Thanks, Seema this is definitely innovative.
Kale in guacamole sounds like a wonderful option. I am also like you..can’t chew too much of raw greens in my salad be it lettuce or kale.. this seems like a classic option to include the greens
