Strawberry Avocado Kale Salad


Yield: 2 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
6 cups baby kale {I like to add in some simple iceberg lettuce too, shredded}  PLEASE wash your lettuces and kale greens very well.  I use a strainer for the pre-chopped, bagged greens.
2 cups strawberries, washed well {use a baking soda, water mixture to get berries thoroughly clean}.
1 ripe avocado, sliced

Dressing
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
salt & pepper to taste

Directions
Please kale, lettuce, strawberries and avocado in a large bowl and set aside.
For the dressing, cook the bacon until crisp.  Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Crumble into small pieces, set aside.  Whisk together remaining ingredients and add bacon in, stir.
Drizzle over salad just before serving.
