Ingredients
Salad
- about 6 cups freshly torn kale leaves with coarse stems and ribs removed
- 1 medium/large ripe Hass avocado peeled, pitted and sliced thinly
- 1 cup fresh strawberries halved
Strawberry-Apple Cider Vinaigrette
- 2 cups strawberries whole with tops off (frozen okay and it’s what I used)
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons honey or to taste (agave may be substituted to keep vegan)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 clove garlic and/or 2 tablespoons diced red onion optionally add to create a more savory dressing (I didn’t use either)
Instructions
For the Salad:
- To a large bowl or platter, add all ingredients in the order listed; set aside.
For the Vinaigrette:
- To the canister of a high-speed blender or food processor, add all ingredients in the order listed. Blend on high power until texture is as smooth as desired. Taste vinaigrette and tweak as necessary to taste.
- Drizzle over salad, toss to combine, and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you don’t use all the vinaigrette, extra will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week.
