Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 bunch kale any type will do, stemmed and shredded
  • 1 avocado pitted and flesh removed
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2.5 tbsp leek white parts, washed and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 radishes sliced paper thin on mandolin
  • 1 cucumber use an English cucumber
  • 0.5 cup seed & spice blend home made

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare your Mise en Place (French for "put in place", meaning proper planning of equipment and ingredients, measuring and cutting it all up so it is ready to go).
  • In mixing bowl add the kale, avocado and lemon juice. With your hands, press to cream the avocado until thoroughly mixed. The lemon juice breaks down some of the hard kale cell walls and also gives it a nice fresh flavor (because of the acidity).
  • Mix in the leeks, tomatoes and some of the radishes, reserving a bit of the radishes for garnish.
  • To make the Cucumber Round and to finish the salad, on the center of a plate, connect two cucumber strips and fold to form a round border. Fill with a generous amount of kale salad.
  • Add the remaining radish slices and your homemade Spice & Seed Blend and serve.

Notes

As a variation, add chopped fresh herbs or your choice of diced vegetables. You may also substitute chard or spinach for the kale. For a quick snack, wrap it in your favorite whole grain tortilla.
