Farmers Market Salad

Serves Six

 

Scrumptious Tips

I have seen curly, dinosaur, Chinese and Red Russian kale at the farmers markets, but many other varieties exist. Kale is high in fiber, with each variety having a unique color and flavor ranging from mild to spicy, or even bitter. My favorite avocados are local Florida avocados, which are double the size of Hass avocados and have a light green color and a mild sweetness - Chef Ali
