Ingredients

- 3 ounces curly kale
- 1/4 t Celtic sea salt
- 1 T olive oil
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup raw pistachios, chopped
- 1-2 T goji berries, soaked if desired for a few minutes
- 1 T agave nectar
- 1 T lemon juice
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions
- Wash the kale, and remove the tough middle rib. Chop the leaves roughly, and set in a bowl.

- Drizzle the olive oil on the kale, and sprinkle with Celtic sea salt. With your hands, massage the kale until it turns bright green and shiny, and starts to wilt.

- In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice and agave until combined, and drizzle on the kale.

- Add the cranberries, goji berries and pistachios, and toss well until the kale leaves are coated and the berries and pistachios are well distributed.

- Arrange in a serving dish, and either serve immediately, or leave to marinate in the fridge until you are ready to eat.
