Author Notes
This salad has it all - buttery avocado, slightly crunchy-slightly soft (thanks to the acid in the lemon) kale with its wonderful mineral-rich tang, sweet, a little ping of flavor from the garlic, a rich little bit sweet coating from the coconut oil and a little crunch from your choice of toasted sesame seeds, pepitas or sunflower seeds. —Eve Fox
