A hearty and colorful salad that’s packed to max with flavor, healthy fats and nutrient-dense veggies.
The Greek cuisine is one of my faves. It’s nutrient dense, abundant in veggies, quite colorful and taste damn delicious. If you’re on the same page (and even if you’re not), you’re going to love this salad. It screams everything Greek and has the perfect combination of ingredients with an array of fibrous veggies, fresh herbs, feta, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts and you can’t forget the beloved avocado. This flavor-packed Greek Kale Salad with Avocado makes for a delicious side-salad, potluck addition or add your favorite protein to make it a well-balanced meal. It’s quick to make and made with hearty enough ingredients so that you can enjoy the leftovers the next day (or even two days later).
Greek Kale Salad with Avocado can be made Whole30 and vegan-friendly by simply leaving out the feta.
You can totally make this salad compliant to fit your dietary preferences. Simply omit the feta and you’re good to go.
Hey…did you know that we have an entire category of both Whole30 and Vegan recipes?
When time is not in our favor we reach for pre-made dressings and condiments. We’re human and don’t always have time to make everything from scratch. One of our go-to brands is Primal Kitchen because they use only quality, real food ingredients. All of their dressings and mayos are made with heart healthy, avocado oil which is something you can’t find in any other dressings and condiments on the market.
However, if you do have a little extra time, I’ve also included an option for a homemade Greek dressing in the recipe below.

Serve as a side or add cooked chicken or salmon and enjoy as an entree salad.

Greek food rocks – and kale is pretty awesome, too! I think you’ll love this recipe. It’s great for meal preps because it holds up well for a few days in the fridge (actually, it gets better…)
This salad is awesome. Made it just as posted leaving out the cheese because hubby and I are doing the whole 30. I forgot to add the avocado and it was still great. If you are new to kale I have a tip thatI read, after you wash, remove stems and chop use your hands to massage the leaves. Squeeze the leaves between your hands and it breaks the kale down and makes chewing it easier and more enjoyable.
Thanks for a great recipe.
Glad you loved the salad. I always massage my kale to make it easier to chew – I also find that it’s gets a little sweeter, too. Using a pinch of salt to massage it makes the process go a little faster (just be sure to adjust the salt in the dressing if you do!)

I needed a W30 recipe for a church potluck and decided to give this salad a try. It was a hit! Will definitely be making it again. Thanks!!

Kale salad is always my favourite. Love the simple lemony dressing you’ve made!
