Kale Strawberry and Avocado Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

I think I have found my new favorite salad! I tend to go through phases with salads…

Kale Strawberry and Avocado Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Sometimes I can eat one everyday and then I am good for awhile. I do like to change my salads up a bit and sort of “think outside of the salad bowl.”  Haha!  I know that was lame! Moving on, kale is an awesome green to use for a salad. It is inexpensive and really good for you. Some might be hesitant as kale can sometimes be bitter, but I promise if you prep this correctly it will taste amazing!
