Lemony Kale Quinoa Salad

Kale is one vegetable that I have not really used much, and I know that it is extremely good for you.  The only way I have fixed it is making balsamic kale chips (which, by the way, are super easy and yummy!).  So when I saw a video from Adina Niemerow making this salad, I just had to try it.  Kale, quinoa, avocado!  What's not to like.  For more information on her and what super healthy things she does, go here.  She has a different Lemony Kale salad recipe on her blog, but this is the one I made.

1 bunch kale, deveined and chopped
1/8 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
lemon wedges
2 avocados, peeled and chopped
1 Tbs cilantro, chopped (I used more)
1/2 cup radishes, chopped
2 Tbs. kalamata olives, chopped
2 cups cooked quinoa
dash cayenne pepper

Put the kale, salt, squeezes of lemon and the avocados in a bowl.  Use your hand to squish this all together.  It coats the kale with a wonderful avocado taste!  Add the remaining ingredients and enjoy.
