Kale Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette
Kale salad is a family favorite. But when I saw strawberries coming into the markets this week, I decided to put the two together. This sweet and tart dressing is made with pureed strawberries,
honey, vinegar, and oil. Since the berries are pureed in the dressing, it
doesn’t matter if they are a little overripe. Just avoid any moldy berries
Strawberry Vinaigrette
- 1 cup strawberries, stemmed and quartered
- 1 Tablespoon honey (I used a local avocado honey)
- 5 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salad
- kale, hand-torn into small pieces (I used Lacinto kale, but you can use any kind)
- fresh strawberries for garnish
- crumbled feta for garnish
Procedure
Combine the strawberries, honey, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender
and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
Place kale in a large mixing bowl and dress as desired. Toss to coat completely and turn onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh strawberries and feta cheese. Serve immediately. The dressing will store in the
refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just whisk it before using if it has separated.
That's a wrap on the #SundayFunday healthy salad event. We'll be back next week with recipe that incorporate chips. Stay tuned....
That salad and dressing is pretty tempting!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sneha. It was delicious.
DeleteThis looks like a pretty delicious way to eat kale! And...it's almost strawberry season!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to get strawberries at the farmers' market last weekend. Maybe it was an early crop.
DeleteLove this dressing, a great way to use any strawberries that have seen better days.
ReplyDeleteYes! I hate wasting food, but my boys get picky about slightly mushy strawberries. This is the perfect solution.
DeleteThe color on that dressing!! I adore strawberries in salad!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous way to use over ripe strawberries! We've been buying strawberries at the strawberry stands for a couple of months and definitely could use this salad!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to enjoy kale, with a tangy and sweet homemade strawberry vinaigrette. A great way to use up slightly mushy strawberries too.
