KALE SALAD WITH STRAWBERRY VINAIGRETTE

This sweet Strawberry Vinaigrette was the perfect dressing for kale salad. It would also be delicious on a spinach salad! This Kale Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette is perfect!

INGREDIENTS

·         Strawberry Vinaigrette

·         1½ -2 cups fresh strawberries

·         ¼ cup olive oil (plus a little extra if dressing is too thick)

·         2 TBSP balsamic vinegar

·         2 TBSP honey

·         ¼ tsp salt

·         ¼ tsp pepper

·     For the Salad: I used baby kale salad mix (from Trader Joes). I added fresh avocado, dried cranberries, and a bagged salad topper (contained nuts, seeds, & red pepper flakes). The salad topper (also from Trader Joes) is optional, but I'd suggest some candied pecans or walnuts if you prefer.

INSTRUCTIONS

1.   Remove stems and rinse strawberries.

2.  Cut berries in half, place into medium bowl, and drizzle honey over the top. Let sit for 10-15 to macerate (to soften and sweeten the berries).

3.  Place all ingredients into blender (strawberries, honey, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper) and blend until combined.

4.   Add a little extra olive oil if dressing is too thick.

5.   Serve immediately or place in refrigerator until you're ready to dress your salad.

6.   Enjoy!
