Another great recipe from my talented cousin, Molly. This salad is filling, but fruity. Kale is a great source of folic acid and vitamins A and C.

Avocado Salad Cups

When I moved a year ago, I had lots of "food adventures" where I would take myself out for lunch and brekkie at all these health spots in my new neighborhood. I was like a kid in a candy shop.
