1) Wash the kale and strip the leaves from the stems. Stack the leaves one on top of the other and roll lengthwise into a cigar shape. Cut the cigar crosswise into 1/4 inch pieces, which will unroll into ribbons. Set kale aside.
2) Finely chop half the olives and leave the others whole. Place in a large mixing bowl, along with the avacado, lemon juice, cucumber, nuts and pinch of salt. Use a fork to smash some of the avacoado pieces and blend the ingredients together.
3) Add kale ribbons to the bowl and, using your hands, give the kale a toss. Toss until everything is coated with dressing and then rub the avocado and olives into the kale to soften it. Let salad sit t for a few minutes and serve.
