Broccoli Salad with Avocado

This is such a simple supper that I have made it twice in two weeks. With the weather getting warmer, it keeps the kitchen cool and gets some raw goodness into our bodies. It's also the perfect combination of crunchy and smooth.

Ingredients
1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard
juice of 1 lemon
4-5 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-2 teaspoons honey
1-2 bunches broccoli crowns, chopped
1-2 carrots, chopped
1-2 celery stalks, chopped
red onion to taste, chopped
1 can tuna, drained
1/4 cup raw almonds, dry roasted in skillet
1-2 avocado, sliced

Directions
  1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a jar with tight fitting lid, shake mightily, and set aside to let the flavors infuse.
  2. Place next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl and toss.
  3. Taste dressing and adjust.
  4. Pour appropriate amount over salad. Toss to coat.
  5. Top with almonds and avocado slices.
  6. Enjoy!
