SAUERKRAUT-AVOCADO SALAD

MAKES 4 SERVINGS

This is a quick salad I enjoy on superbusy days. Just toss your favorite greens with an avocado and sauerkraut. The avocado adds a creaminess, while the sauerkraut gives the salad a salty, tart flavor that's delicious. If you don't have hemp nuts, use your favorite seed or nut, such as sesame or chopped almonds, to add that extra layer of texture.

6 cups lightly packed greens
2 cups cubed ripe avocado (from about 2 medium-size avocados)
Â½ cup Basic Green Cabbage Sauerkraut (page 121), packed, excess liquid
squeezed out
2 tablespoons hemp nuts

Place all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Toss to mix well. Serve immediately.

Will keep for 1 day in the fridge.
