Strawberry Coconut Kale Salad Recipe

Strawberry Coconut Kale Salad Recipe

This salad can be enjoyed as is for a vibrant and healthy vegetarian meal or you can add your favourite protein on top.  To cook salmon, just drizzle the fillet with avocado oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper and then place it under the broiler on medium heat for about 6-8min depending on the thickness.  Can't go wrong either way.
