Nectarine and Kale Salad with Ginger and Lime Dressing

This is a simple salad to get you ready for the change of seasons and start dreaming of the brighter, warm evenings that come with Summer.

I love fruit in salads. Especially when paired with salty feta. Yum! This salad would also work really well with peaches or pears if you can’t get your hands on some juicy nectarines. I do try to shop in season so check what you have available and get creative.

You can double the dressing recipe and use it throughout the week on any other salads or veggies you put together. Its light and zesty and perfect for the warmer weather.

If you want to make it a big main meal, cooked chicken or salmon would work really well or use it as a side salad to either of these.

Can you tell I’m excited about the warmer weather?!
