Cucumber Kale Salad with Avocado

What did the salad say to the dressing?
Lettuce be friends.

Dinner last night was totally sponsored by the color green...next time, maybe one green dish at a time.

This Cucumber Kale Salad with Avocado was very light, lemony and refreshing.  We had a few radishes and some carrot, so I threw that in for some extra crunch.  Red/purple onion might also work instead...

Here's what you need:
1 large cucumber
1 avocado
1/3-1/2 of 1 carrot
2 radishes
2 teaspoons of white vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 handfuls of chopped kale



Cucumber.

Take the ends off and peel.

Cut into bite sized pieces.

Add some chopped radish and carrot, if you have it.  or chopped red onion...

Avocado.

Slice, remove seed, slice out avocado into dish.

Juice 1 lemon, add to dish (watch out for seeds)

In addition to the lemon juice, add 2 teaspoons of white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
 \
Add salt and pepper.

Top with 2 handfuls of chopped kale.

Toss when ready to eat and plate up.
