Instructions
For the salad:
Divide the baby kale and cucumber between 4 bowls.
Divide the salmon and avocado between the 4 bowls and add to the top of the kale and cucumber. Each salad will have 3 ounces of salmon and 1/4 avocado.
Drizzle with the Garlic Rice Vinegar Dressing, and sprinkle black sesame seeds on top.
For the dressing:
Combine all dressing ingredients in a small blender or food processor and process until smooth.
You can add a little bit more cucumber to thin the dressing if needed, or you can add a bit more avocado to make it thicker.
This makes about 1/2 cup (8 ounces) dressing, enough for 2 Tablespoons each on 4 salads. You can double the dressing recipe if you'd like more dressing for each salad.
