Directions

1. Wash kale well, remove from stems and chop fine.
2. Add lemon and lime juice to kale with 4 TB of olive oil. Massage kale and allow to macerate for several hours, stirring frequently. (The acid from the citrus “cooks” the kale and softens it.
3. Remove corn from cobs and steam or microwave until just cooked.
4. After Kale has time to wilt, add remaining ingredients, salt and pepper to taste. Let sit for another 30 minutes for flavors to develop. Serve with chopped avocado on top.
