Avocado Kale Salad
Salads are always a favorite for me and when it features avocado, that’s a double whammy! Our whole family LOVES salad, even our little baby – we just chop it up really small! This Avocado Kale Salad was bursting with freshness and flavor! The plump cranberries, the crunchy little sunflower kernels, that incredibly tangy homemade Cilantro Lemon Dressing! It was delicious! My husband said it was the best salad he’s ever had! This one was a total winner, and it was extremely easy to make!
