I’m not the biggest salad fan out there, however, this recipe could sway me that way. Creamy kale salad takes a little time to prepare, but once you taste it, you’ll be hooked.

This dish is all about what you put on top. You’ll need a food processor for the dressing. When you pulse the avocado, vinegar, mustard and oil together, you get a thick topping that almost has the taste and texture of frosting. It is delicious.

When assembling the salad, you’ll want to tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, something I didn’t do my first time.

Not only does this salad taste good, it’s good for you, especially the kale, a “super food.”

Kale is found in the produce section of your grocery store. It is not only low in calories, high in fiber and calcium, but is filled with antioxidants and has no fat.

This salad also includes beets, apples and walnuts. What’s not to love? Enjoy a salad with a twist and, of course, that vegan thing.
