Wash, trim off the ends and small chop the kale (including the rib) and place in a large mixing bowl.
Juice the lemon over the kale and add the grated ginger and avocado (and olive oil if you are using it).
Use your hands to massage and mash this into the kale leaves.
Work this until the total amount is 1/2 of the original amount in your bowl then put salt and pepper to taste if so desired.
Allow the salad to rest for 15 minutes, serve and ENJOY!!

Note: A CHEF’S TIP: because I am on a raw paleo cleanse, I omitted the olive oil, pink salt and pepper from my salad (still is quite tasty without those ingredients). Also, always use ripe avocados in this recipe for the best flavor and texture.
