MASSAGED KALE SALAD WITH STRAWBERRIES AND COCONUT-LIME DRESSING

Gossip alert… are you ready for this? I’ve heard rumors that strawberries are coming early this year and will be available in farmers markets as early as this weekend (at least in Seattle). Whoa. Now that’s my kind of gossip. 

One thing’s for sure: you will definitely find me at the farmers market this weekend to check it out. I’ll be sure to report back.

Strawberries (and blueberries) have such a brief season here that you have to get them right away. I’m a big berry fan and nothing can compare to fresh local berries from the farmers market.

If you’re lucky to get your hands on some good strawberries this season, I have just the thing for you: this massaged kale salad with strawberries and coconut-lime dressing. I can promise you I’m going to be eating this all season long.

Have you made massaged kale salad before?

Yes? Awesome! You’re going to love this version! This is a sweet and zesty take on traditional massaged kale salad that adds maple syrup and lime to the dressing for just the right amount of sweetness. I swear you won’t know if you’re eating salad or dessert.

And, if you’re a massaged kale salad newbie, don’t fear! Massaging kale is a way to soften the tough leaves and make it a softer texture which is preferable for salads. It’s also fun because you get to play with your food! If you need a little help getting started with this, check out my tutorial here: How To Make Massaged Kale Salad
