Spring is just around the corner, and I’m eager to welcome in the warm sunshine! And one of my favorite ways to celebrate spring is with fresh, bright salads. This Kale, Strawberry and Avocado Salad is just the ticket. It is an excellent dish for when you want to pack a TON of nutrition into one serving, as it’s loaded with heart healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, and important dietary fiber.

I also love to toss in couple of tablespoons of feta cheese when I want to add in another flavor dimension. At just 5 Points per serving, this healthy and delicious salad is a must try! Enjoy.

What about cutting out the veins of the kale leaves ? This is in every other kale recipe I have seen…
You can remove the leaves from the veins/stems first, if you prefer. I’ve chopped it with the veins, and I don’t mind it. But maybe that’s because I’m just too lazy? :)
It is not Vegan if it contains honey. Honey is harvested from an insect (animal). Use Agave instead.

I made this and really liked it…I did make a couple of changes, I used Lime flavored EVOO in place of the regular. I also chopped up the kale and added the dressing to it and massaged it for about 2 minutes to make it a little tenderer. Then added in the rest of the ingredients. It was great and we will make it again!
