Ingredients

• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 large bunch kale, stems removed, leaves chopped
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1 small clove garlic, grated
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 12-ounce piece smoked deli turkey, chopped
• 1 apple, chopped
• 1/4 cup unsalted roasted sunflower seeds
• 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Soak the red onion in a small bowl of ice water, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the kale, 1 tablespoon vinegar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Toss and rub with your fingers until the kale is dark green and softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Whisk the mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic, dill and the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Drain the red onion, pat dry and add to the bowl with the kale; add the turkey, apple and half of the sunflower seeds. Drizzle with about three-quarters of the dressing and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining dressing, sunflower seeds and the avocado.
