Kale Avocado Salad

Kale has become quite trendy lately, turning up in various forms everywhere from supermarkets to farmer's markets to restaurant menus. This new surge in kale popularity is something I am quite excited about because I have always loved kale. Usually, I will saute or steam kale and have as a side dish for dinner. Sometimes I like to bake it into lovely little crispy kale chips. However, my new favorite use for kale is to prepare it raw in a salad. It's super easy to prepare and so delicious.
