For many it is the dressing that makes a good salad. Salad must also provide variety and balance. A good salad does not become simply a bowl of everything. In this salad, I used baby kale, creamy avocados, and sweet tomatoes and ended it with sweet red onion. But it is the dressing that ties everything together. A good salad is fresh, light and refreshing. Enjoy!
