    3 Wet hands and roll each tablespoon of mixture into about 16 small balls. Roll sushi balls lightly in sesame seeds. Set aside.

    4 To make salad, combine ingredients in a large salad bowl. Toss well.

    5 To make dressing, combine ingredients in a small jar. Seal jar and shake to combine well.

    6 Divide kale and avocado salad among serving plates and top with reserved sushi balls. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
