Strawberry Avocado Kale Salad!

Strawberries and Avocados are a delicious match for a healthy and filling main course dinner or lunch salad!  This easy dinner salad is perfect for the spring and summer.  It is refreshing and light and the lemon vinaigrette recipe can be used on so many other salads and grilled veggies!  What I love most about this salad is that it taste good, while keeping your fitness and health goals on track!  Just add chicken or fish to complete this healthy weeknight meal!
