Notes
- Kale – you can use curly kale or dinosaur kale in this recipe. To make it even faster to make, prepare and store your kale in advance!
- Strawberries – fresh strawberries are a MUST in this recipe. Frozen strawberries will just make the salad mushy.
- Storing – the best way to store this salad is to store everything separately, then assemble, dress and toss it when you are ready to serve it.
