Baby Kale Salad with Avocado-Lime Dressing Tips

Is baby kale the same as regular kale?

Baby kale is more delicate and milder, as it’s the younger version of regular kale. It’s perfect for eating raw and not really cooking, and you will often find it in mixed salad green containers rather than on its own. Find more of our favorite kale recipes.

Does avocado dressing turn brown?

Avocado dressing will naturally start to turn brown over time, but the lime juice acid will help slow down that process. By the way, do you know how to cut an avocado?

How long does kale salad last in the fridge?

Undressed kale salad will store in the fridge for a couple days. Dressed kale salad will only last a few hours before it becomes soggy. You can learn more about food longevity here.
