Strawberry and Avocado Christmas Salad Recipe

christmas salad recipe

This Strawberry and Avocado Christmas Salad Recipe is a must-have to serve at your table this festive season.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year when loved ones gather to share good food and great conversation. But, it can bring on some pressure for whoever is preparing the food to serve something delicious that will please everyone.

If you’re looking for a quick, healthy, and tasty salad that’s going to impress all the guests at your table, then look no further.

This is perfect to serve up as a side dish to any of the other main meals on the menu. Plus, it literally takes around 10 minutes to make. Yay!

This Strawberry and Avocado Christmas Salad Recipe is naturally gluten, dairy and nut free, which is wonderful as you can be sure it suits most peoples’ dietary requirements. It’s so easy to prepare and you can make it ahead of time (that morning).

What Ingredients Will You Need?

  • Kale: This leafy green is nutrient dense and makes the perfect base for all the salad toppings. There are many types of kale, but I recommend using green curly for this recipe if possible.
  • Baby spinach: These green leaves have a subtle neutral flavour making them perfect to combine with any salad ingredients.
  • Avocado: This will be used to massage into the kale to help soften the leaves and make them easier to digest.
  • Lemon: This is used along with the avocado to soften the kale. The acid in the lemon helps even more to break down the cell structure of the kale to make it nice and tender.
  • Red onion: They have a nice purple hue and mild sweet flavour. Red onions are my favourite kind of onion to use in a salad.
  • Cucumber: This adds a lovely hydrating freshness and crunch to the salad.
  • Cauliflower: Roughly chop the cauliflower to bring a gentle, crunchy texture and bright white colour to the dish.
  • Strawberries: The star of the dish! Strawberries will bring a vibrant colour to the salad. Make sure you use fresh organic strawberries that are properly ripe to avoid a sour, watery flavour. They should taste rich and sweet.
  • Passionfruit: This is one of my secret ingredients to use as a salad dressing. Is there anything easier than scooping out the pulp of fresh passionfruit? It will also bring a sweet and tangy taste to the dish and make the salad nice and juicy.
  • Mint: This herb is usually used as a garnish, but we are going to combine it through the entire salad. It will bring a fresh, minty aroma and flavour.

How to Make Strawberry and Avocado Christmas Salad Recipe

  • Roughly tear apart the kale leaves and put them into a big mixing bowl.
  • Spoon the avocado and lemon juice on top, and with clean hands, begin to gently massage the avocado into the leaves. Make sure all the leaves are coated with some avocado. Don’t worry if there are some avocado chunks; they add to the texture.
  • Add in the rest of the ingredients, except the passionfruit, and toss gently to combine.
  • Spoon the salad into a bowl of your choice and finish by spooning the passionfruit pulp over the salad.
