COOL CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the cucumber slices into a colander set in the sink, and sprinkle with salt. Set aside and allow to drip.
• In a salad bowl, mix together the red onion, red bell pepper, lime zest and juice, cilantro, sugar, curry powder, and hot pepper sauce until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. Drain the cucumber slices, and pat them dry with paper towels. Stir the cucumbers into the salad. Gently toss the avocados with the salad and serve.

KALE SALAD WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Combine kale and lemon juice in a bowl. Vigorously massage kale by squeezing handfuls for about 1 minute. Add avocados, tomatoes, and green onions.
• Mix together olive oil, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Pour dressing over salad and mix well. Serve immediately.

CREAMY KOHLRABI SALAD

Steps:

• Cut kohlrabi into quarters and steam, covered, over boiling water until tender, 25 minutes.
• When kohlrabi are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with your fingers.
• Place kohlrabi in a medium bowl with scallions and onion.
• In a food processor or blender, combine ricotta, mayonnaise, and mustard and process just until creamy.
• Pour ricotta mixture over kohlrabi mixture and toss well to combine.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Transfer the scallions to a small bowl of ice water to crisp.
• Peel the cucumbers in alternating stripes, trim ends and cut cucumbers lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, if desired. Cut cucumbers into bite-size pieces (thin slices, 1/2-inch cubes, or smashed into irregular shapes), then transfer to a colander set in the sink. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside to drain, at least 5 minutes or up to 15.
• When you're ready to eat, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Using a spoon, remove the flesh from the skins, then cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and season with salt. Stir to combine.
• Shake the cucumbers in the colander to get rid of any excess moisture, then transfer to the bowl with the avocado. Drain and shake the scallions in the colander. Add the scallions to the bowl.
• Stir the salad ingredients vigorously just until the avocado breaks down a bit. The cucumbers should be glossed with avocado but the majority of the avocado pieces should still remain cubed. Season to taste with salt, lemon and red-pepper flakes or hot sauce.

SESAME CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Place the sesame oil, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk until emulsified. Taste, and adjust seasonings. (Dressing should taste acidic, a little sweet and salty.)
• When you're ready to eat, prepare the salad: Halve the avocados and discard the pits. Using a small paring knife, carefully score the avocado flesh into 1/2-inch cubes, avoiding cutting through the skin. Use a large spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh (in one spoonful, if possible), as close to the skin as possible. Transfer avocado cubes to a large bowl and add the dressing; toss gently.
• Add the cucumbers and scallions and toss everything together. Season with salt and black pepper, top with more sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
