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

Steps:

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.
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.
