Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 5 ounces of fresh baby kale
- 1 pint of strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 avocado, diced
- ¼ cup nuts or seeds of your choice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the sliced strawberries and sugar. Gently toss to evenly coat them with the sugar and set aside for 5 minutes.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, water, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning levels. Set aside.
- Toast the nuts or seeds on a pan over medium heat. Be careful because they can burn quickly. As soon as they begin to very slightly charred, turn off the heat and remove the nuts or seeds from the pan. Set aside.
- Whisk the dressing one more time and add the kale. Using your hands, gently massage the kale until evenly coated with the dressing.
- Add half of the strawberries and pecans and mix well.
- Top with the rest of the strawberries and nuts or seeds and serve.

Notes
- Don’t skip the massage. I know it seems like an extra step but it’s quite tasty. It softens the greens and reduces some of the bitterness in the kale leaves.
- Best flavor. Use fresh, in-season, ripe strawberries.
- Serve immediately. Strawberry kale salad is best eaten right after adding the dressing. If transporting or waiting to serve, add the dressing right before and mix everything together.
