I loooooooove a good salad! I’m talking layers, colors, textures and FLAVOR!

Also, I’ve decided that I really enjoy baby kale! I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know it existed. It’s like a milder version of kale more similar to arugula. So if you’re on the fence about kale, try baby kale!

for the salad:
baby kale
strawberries, hulled & thinly sliced
avocado, pit/skin removed & thinly sliced
cooked bacon, rough chopped
chopped walnuts
crumbled feta cheese

^Place kale leaves in a large salad bowl and add remaining ingredients.

for the balsamic vinaigrette:
1/3 cup EVOO
1/3 cup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
salt & pepper
juice of 1/2 of a lemon

^Just whisk all these ingredients together and BAM! Easy, fresh balsamic vinaigrette. Serve it on the side or toss with kale salad right before serving.
