July Kale & Fruit Salad

1 C. Kale, ripped into bitesize pieces. Well packed Cup.

4 Strawberries, diced

18 Red grapes, halved

10 Watermelon balls, from fresh watermelon, with a melon ball spoon

3 T Carrot, grated. Actually used the peeler and peeled slivers from 3 inches of carrot tip. Peeled slivers down to the core. Cut these into thirds. I didn’t want to mess up the grater for such a small amount of carrot.

2 T Pecan halves, chopped fine. It was 14 pecan halves, once chopped was about 2 T.

2 T Oil & Balsamic Vinegar Dressing (Safeway Select)

Toss ingredients together, add dressing. Serve.

A pretty tasty one dish meal. My liking for nuts and dressing consistently add 200-300 calories per salad. But, it wouldn't be as tasty without!

Rated a 4 on the Kale Scale.
