Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chopped curly kale, freshly washed

1/2 cup cooked black beans

1/2 avocado

2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine the kale and black beans in a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 1 1/2 minutes, until the black beans are warm and the kale is wilted.
  2. Stir in the avocado until evenly distributed among the beans and greens, then top with crumbled feta.

Alternatively, if you don’t have a microwave, you can heat the black beans in a small pot over the stove, and lightly steam the kale with a splash of water, before combining all ingredients in a serving bowl.

How’d it Taste?

  • JR says:

    Sounds good, but what are we supposed to do with the avocado? Chop it, turn it into guacamole?

    Other than the missing info this sounds great! Guess other greens would work also.

    • Katherine-Oldways says:

      Hi there! Once your beans and greens are all set, stir in the avocado until evenly distributed, then top with crumbled feta! Since it should be a soft ripe avocado it will mix right in—feel free to score it first, or make a guacamole if you’d like.
