Kale Avocado Salad

I often feel that my body is craving a superfood like kale, but have never really liked the way it tastes (a bit leafy and bitter). However, I came across this recipe on a family friend’s blog, i talk to food, and really liked it. The trick is that you let the salad marinate with the dressing on it for a couple hours, making the kale moist and flavorful. Plus it has avocado as a main ingredient, which obviously makes it a winning dish!

Ingredients:

3 cups torn kale

½ cup of cherry tomatoes sliced in half

3 tbsp thinly sliced red onion

1 ripe avocado

Dressing:

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Juice of half a lemon

Large pinch of salt

I played around with the dressing a bit, using regular balsamic vinegar instead of the red wine vinegar, and added a splash of Brianna’s ginger mandarin dressing to add extra flavor.
