Instructions
Cook the Brown Rice
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package directions, typically 30 minutes in a 2 to 1 water to rice ratio. Fluff with a fork when done and set aside.
Steam the Vegetables
While the rice cooks, steam the broccoli florets for 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Do not overcook as excessive heat destroys sulforaphane, a key anti-inflammatory compound in broccoli.
Make the Avocado Dressing
Blend the ripe avocado, lemon juice, fresh parsley, and 3 tablespoons of water in a blender or small food processor until completely smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Massage the Kale and Assemble
Place chopped kale in a bowl and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage firmly with your hands for 2 minutes until the kale softens and darkens. Divide rice between bowls, top with kale and broccoli, and spoon the avocado dressing generously over everything.
