Instructions
- Wash kale and add to salad spinner to remove excess water. Note - if using large kale leaves, remove ribs, and cut across width of leaves, slicing into strips. Add kale to a large bowl.
- Cut orange or tangelo in half. Squeeze juice over kale. Add oil. If using, add salt and pepper, to taste.
- With clean hands, "massage" the kale with the juice and oil mixture until tender.
- Divide "massaged" kale among two pasta bowls or large dinner plates along with excess juice and oil mixture. Set aside.
- Slice turkey into strips and add half to each kale salad.
- Wash bell pepper. Remove stem, membranes, and seeds and discard. Chop red bell pepper and top each salad with half.
- Using a zester, zest one half of each orange or tangelo rind on top of bell pepper.
- Note - add any extra low calorie vegetables of your choice without changing the calorie count of the salad by much.
