3. Cut the radishes into thin slices and distribute them evenly with the edamame on top of the kale. Cut the wakame smaller and spread it over the salad. Add cubes of avocado.

4. To prepare the vinaigrette, mix the extra virgin olive oil, soy sauce, mustard, sambal and pepper together in a tightly sealed container and shake it until it is well mixed. Serve this with the salad.
