KALE STRAWBERRY AND AVOCADO SALAD

                                   After I had my baby last year I was more on to eating whatever is available . I skipped salads as I needed more energy which was just  an excuse😉. I wanted to eat tummy full to have an eye full of sleep.  In the process I was not able to shed few of my extra pounds, which was stagnating since an year. So, I have been planning to eat only salads for dinner. But failed many times as I always end up eating rice and curry .As rice is my staple food I love eating it😋. So, finally I  have decided to take baby steps towards losing weight. So, if you are in the same phase as me, do check out this high fiber kale salad.

                         Kale is the cousin of cabbage . But it's taste is a mix of both spinach and cabbage. Kale is believed to be the wild cabbage. Some kale has a bitter and peppery taste 😎. But some kale type is really good for salad. The texture of the kale looks really artistic to me as the edges are beautifully curl. On the other hand Strawberry has a balance of acidity and sweetness. Avocado is creamy , very creamy 😵and fleshy. Avocado absorbs any flavor that we add to it. On a whole this is a mix of flavors with little crunch from the almonds. I first saw this kale recipe from here which I modified a bit with the dressing. So, jump into your apron and start tossing your salad.
