Kale Salad with Caramelized Onion, Goat Cheese & Avocado
Raw kale makes for a robust salad that can accommodate all kinds of tasty ingredient combinations. In this version, I’ve used caramelized onion, goat cheese, almond slivers and avocado, but you could also play around with adding pear and/or cranberries, depending on how central you want this dish to be.
