When my daughter and I went to the strawberry field last week during check out they asked if we wanted any kale. Wanting to support the strawberry field we have been going to for 10+ years, I agreed. Well she filled a huge plastic bag with fresh cut Kale. Now what to do. I had my daughter search for recipes and found a yummy strawberry and Kale salad. We are growing Kale this spring and this salad is a great go to as well. Strawberry Kale Salad is a great go to recipe that is filled with yummy flavors and healthy ingredients.
Stawberry Kale Salad
The last time I made a kale salad they suggested dressing it a few hours before serving since kale can be tough. Not this one which I was a little skeptical about.
First take out the rib of the kale pieces with a knife and cut them into slivers.
Then the recipe suggests squeezing the kale until a strong aroma arises. OK easy enough.
Make your dressing of prepared ranch dressing and honey. EASY. The second time I made this recipe I used half ranch and half no fat greek yogurt.
Add your strawberries and roasted walnuts and top with the prepared dressing. (my daughter did this before I could take a photo)
Serve and enjoy.
Three of the four people eating this took more than one serving. It was so rich this is all we ate for dinner that night.
I have made plenty of strawberry and spinach salads but this might have taken over.
I have plenty of kale left and will surely be making more of this strawberry and kale salads again. Maybe for dinner tonight.

Tammy it was a big surprise combo for us too. Have made it twice now.
Nice – I have to try this squeezing the kale and I love the dressing – I want to make this salad!
This is divine! I love kale with fruit, blueberries are good too.
This is the perfect salad to make right now. I haven’t had strawberries with kale before, but would like to try it. It looks delicious.
I have never had fruit in a green salad before. I am not sure if I would like it but this looks pretty good. might have to give it a try.
