Jerk Salad

This little spur of the moment creation was too yummy not to share. The key is to chiffon or ribbon the collards and then massage it with salt, lemon/tomato, and finally avocado in that order. If you get the collard greens nice and relaxed you'll have a perfect salad. The spices make it perfect. Raw mesquite is a wonderful addition as it adds both a sweetness and a smokey luscious flavour.
