With my busy schedule, I need quick and easy recipes that are also healthy! This Easy Raw Kale Salad with Avocado Dressing is quick, easy, nutrient-dense and so delicious!
My family is not a fan of kale, so why kale salad?
I’ve managed to enjoy kale by baking kale chips or adding kale to a cooked soup, but I don’t like raw kale. Prior to this salad, my husband wouldn’t eat kale at all!
In an effort to eat a more nutrient-dense diet, I started making this kale salad with avocado dressing since we are fans of avocado! The avocado dressing on this salad does a great job of masking the flavor of the kale.
My husband likes garlic so I add extra garlic for him. I like the sweet taste of citrus on my salad, so I add extra mandarin slices on my serving.
This combination is how Easy Raw Kale Salad with Avocado Dressing was made!
