• Pinch kosher salt
• 15 oz cannellini beans canned, drained and rinsed
• ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
• 1 avocado sliced for serving

For the Dressing

• 1 lemon juiced
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup can use honey or agave syrup as substitute
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

• Drizzle the kale with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Take your hands and massage the kale for a couple of minutes. This will release the bitterness that kale can have.
