Prep the rest of the ingredients, thinly slicing the beets, julienne the basil, and cut the carrots into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Add these to the kale and broccoli mixture, and put in your bowl or platter! Top with blueberries, seed mixture, dressing and avocado and serve.
If serving immediately, toss all of the dressing with the salad. As I am using this as my lunches for the week, I divided the dressing into 6 tupperware containers, and filled them to the top with salad. The lime juice in the salad helps the veggies and fruit keep well in the refrigerator all week, and then the salad is ready to just toss with the dressing already at the bottom of the container!
