This recipe if from the Esalen Cookbook and well
worth every bite. Half this recipe if you get the ½ box.

½ cup Bragg Liquid Aminos or tamari soy sauce
1/3 cup lemon juice
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil or flax seed oil
½ medium-size red onion
¼ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup sesame seeds
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
1-pound fresh kale (1 large bunch- full box)
½ cup sunflower sprouts
1 avocado, cut into ½ inch cubes (optional)
1/2 bell pepper sliced into strips

Combine Braggs, Tamari or soy sauce and lemon juice in a blender or whisk in a bowl. Slowly dribble in the oil as the blender turns or as you whisk vigorously. Slice the onion into thin half-moons and marinate in the dressing as you prepare the rest of the salad.
Toast the seeds in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until seeds are just golden and fragrant. Toast each seed type separately as their size requires varying roasting times. Cool to room temperature.
De-stem the kale cutting out the main central vein (reserve for soup stock). Stack the kale leaves and slice into ¼-inch ribbons. This is the most important step, so take your time. The success of this recipe lies in cutting the kale into small ribbons and in completely massaging the kale with the dressing.
Toss the seeds, sprouts, and kale together with the marinated onions and as much dressing as necessary to lightly but completely dress the kale. Massage the dressing into the kale with your hands. Add the avocado and bell pepers if using and toss again with your hands.
