Purple Kale Salad

What You Need:
1 bunch purple kale, clean and torn into bite sized pieces
1 large cucumber, peeled, and halved
1 lemon
2 avocados, peeled
Handful baby carrots, chopped
Salt
Pepper
Red pepper flakes

For the salad:
Place kale in a large bowl with carrots. Chop half the cucumber and one of the avocados and throw them in the bowl too. I put the avocado into a ziplock bag and toss with the juice from half a lemon once it is sliced. Get it coated evenly to keep the avocado from turning brown.

For the dressing:
Put one avocado, half the cucumber, the pulp and juice from half the lemon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes into blender. Blend until thin and creamy.

I think a handful of cashews would go well in this salad.
