Strawberry Avocado Kale Salad

It was Canada day weekend and my family went to Vancouver Island to spend time together. Even my son from Calgary came home to take this trip with us. We went for hikes, visited some local attractions and enjoyed the island’s bounty of seafood. It was nice to relax and have fun times bonding with my family. Even the weather cooperated and it was warm and sunny most of the time.

This salad is the perfect meal to have on a warm summer day like we are having here in Vancouver. It is easy to make and uses fresh and easy to find ingredients. It can be made vegetarian by omitting the bacon. Either way, this kale salad is simple, light and delicious.
