1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey

Instructions
Wash and chop the kale, then place it in a large bowl.

Pour the dressing over the kale and massage gently for 1–2 minutes until softened.
Add sliced strawberries, toasted pecans, and crumbled feta cheese.
