For the dressing, cut 1/2 of an avocado in half and remove the seed.

In a blender, combine the avocado, juice and zest of 1 lemon, a splash of water, vegetable oil, agave (or maple syrup or honey), black pepper, and salt.

Blend until smooth, adjusting with more water if needed for consistency.

Set the dressing aside and prepare the salad vegetables.

Remove the middle rib from the kale by folding it in half and pulling it out, then chop the kale into bite-sized pieces.

Slice the radishes by trimming the ends and cutting straight down.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, sliced radishes, and pumpkin seeds.

Spoon in the dressing and toss the salad until the leaves are covered.

Plate the salad and add any additional toppings like leftover avocado slices if desired.
