This is a strong gutsy salad which does double duty as a side salad to steak or a roast but can work as a filling meatless main meal salad as well. There are now so many recipes for kale that I had to add my own contribution! Just keep in mind that the kale has to be really fresh-fresh.

Prepare kale leaves and place in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the combined dressing over the washed, chopped kale and massage for a few minutes to allow the flavours to be soaked up and for the leaves to be softened. Arrange on the base of a large serving bowl or platter.
Top with avocado cubes, then sprinkle over almonds, berries and crumbled cheese
To make dressing:
In a jar combine dressing ingredients and shake until combined.
Variations to make this salad into a light meal - add one of these and toss well before serving:
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 cup cubes of pumpkin or sweet potato, roasted
• 1/2 cup shaved parmesan, crumbled goat or feta cheese
