Kale, Strawberry & Avocado Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

Okay, I decided to limit myself to one salad recipe a week for the blog. There are just so many great recipes out there I can't help myself. Not to mention they are super simple and don't require hours in the kitchen. Today's recipe was inspired by Two Peas and Their Pod kale, strawberry & avocado salad with lemon poppy seed dressing recipe.

This salad is super simple and great for lunch as well! I had to stop myself from eating the entire bowl. 

Salad Ingredients:

• 4 cups chopped kale
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 avocado, chopped
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup feta cheese

Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey (I used agave)
• 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
• 1/8 tsp salt
• freshly ground pepper

Directions: 

• Put the kale in a large bowl and massage with a pinch of sea salt to soften. Massage until the leaves are darker and tender. 
• Add the salad ingredients and toss lightly. 
• In a small jar (I used a mason jar) add salad dressing ingredients and shake!
• Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat!

You can also add grilled chicken or shrimp to this salad as well! I just didn't have any chicken prepared!

Happy Pinning!
