Easy kale salad recipe with blueberries, avocado, and sliced almonds tossed with a honey lime vinaigrette dressing.

For a quick and easy kale salad, this recipe can’t be beat. The refreshing and bright honey lime vinaigrette dressing pairs wonderfully with fresh kale, blueberries, and creamy avocado.

When I make a kale salad I like to massage the kale first to make the kale more tender and easier to eat. This is really helpful with larger, tougher kale leaves.

I paired this kale, blueberry, and avocado salad with a honey lime vinaigrette recipe that I found on allrecipes. It is a little sweet with wonderful bright flavors from the lime that pair nicely with blueberries and avocado.

How to make kale, blueberry and avocado salad

Wash kale in cool water then pat dry.
Gently remove stems and tear into smaller pieces then place in a large bowl.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil and a pinch of salt over the kale.

Gently massage the olive oil and salt into the kale leaves until they begin to soften.
Add blueberries, avocado, and almonds to the bowl.
Drizzle honey lime vinaigrette over the salad.

Serve.
