Kale strawberry salad that’s a perfect barbeque side dish or served with dinner! Just a few ingredients for a healthy salad with a dash of fruit.
Ok so we have a love for kale…yes, even my kids. We visited a local farm recently, picked our own kale and strawberries, and had an amazing kale strawberry salad that we just had to try and duplicate when we got home. Let us share this easy kale salad recipe with you! (originally published 5/17, affiliate links present)
Kale Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Dressing
Doesn’t this look ahhhhhhmazing??!!! So like I said, we went strawberry picking and you can even pick veggies at a local Southern California farm called Tanaka Farms and just had to recreate the salad they served us.
Kale juice and adding leaves into anything is so good for you. It does have a distinct and somewhat strong flavor though. Sweetening it up a bit with agave nectar is a great way to counteract that. If you’ve never had agave nectar you can use it in so many ways.
You can use it instead of syrup on pancakes, mix it up as a vinaigrette for salads or use it as is like in this salad recipe or in a fruit salad! Add diced fresh strawberries and sunflower seeds…and BAM. Serve it with or without air fryer croutons and it’s a great side dish.
You’ve got yourself a tasty, healthy, pretty, and inexpensive side dish!
Strawberry Kale Salad
It is always nice to have a tasty side dish you can just throw together with a few ingredients when you’re going to a barbeque or over to someone’s house.
Kale Strawberry Almond Salad
Another great one to make and serve along side this is this TikTok cucumber salad! Adding some sliced or almond slivers are a nice touch too. Brings some crunch and added texture to the dish.
This kale strawberry salad recipe is a great one to keep on hand! If you love kale too try our easy kale chip recipe here. My kids love these and our bacon pasta salad and shredded brussel sprout salad recipe too.
