Introduction

My cousin’s friend is a professional stunt diver. He’s on team Red Bull. Six months out of the year, he travels around the world, competing in high-diving events. They dive off cliffs, skyscrapers, apartment complexes, and custom-built scaffold structures, sometimes into small pools only a few feet wide.

The stunt diver, my cousin, and I went on a ski trip together once. We stopped in front of a snow-covered cliff to take a photo of him holding all of his sponsor’s protein bars, fanned out so you could see the logos (a contractual obligation).

Once he was part of a stunt that involved him diving off of a hang glider mid flight. He was a bit nervous, so he jumped a few seconds too soon. In hindsight, he estimated he was probably at 120 feet above the water. They usually jump from 90 feet. He broke several of his ribs.

Ingredients

• Kale
• 2-3 ripe avocados
• Olive oil
• Crushed or slivered almonds
• Big flaky salt
• Lemon

Instructions

1. De-stem and shred the kale into reasonably-sized pieces.
2. Cube one avocado and massage the avocado the pieces into the kale. Keep squishing it around until all of pieces are blended in and the kale is getting a bit softer.
3. Sprinkle in some olive oil, the almonds, and big flaky salt.
4. Cube the remaining avocado and toss the chunks in. Juice the lemon.
