Brussel Sprouts and Kale salad

Oh, what a yummy salad this is.  I made it yesterday for dinner and I wish I had made tripple the portion.  As I try to do with most of my meals, I combined several different tastes and textures for a "party in my mouth" experience.  Enjoy

Ingredients:

6 meduim leaves of raw kale- stripped from the stemm and ripped into small pieces

10 brussel sprouts- chopped in food processor (or by hand if you prefer)

5-6 radishes

10 cherry tomatoes ( i used yellow for extra color)

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1 avocado

juice of 1/2 lemon

2 tbs of balasamic vinegar ( I used white baslamic vinegar, but regular will be just fine)

2 tbs of sesame seeds ( optional)

Lightly ( 1 min or so)  steam kale and chopped brussel sprouts, or use raw for extra crunch.

Add mushed avocado, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar and massage the veggies with both hands- they will get tender and supet tasty.  

Add cut up radishes, tomatoes and cranberries.  Toss lightly and serve.
