    Ingredients for the lime vinaigrette:

    This zesty lime vinaigrette is so easy to make. Just whisk together all of these simple ingredients below.

    • 2 limes, juiced

    This Avocado-Edamame Kale Salad has "spring" written all over it. But you can enjoy this salad all year round.

    Tips and tricks

    • I used baby kale in this salad because it soaks up the vinaigrette very quickly. Feel free to use whatever greens you have on hand.
    • If you can't find rainbow radishes, you can always substitute it for red radishes. It's all good!
    • You can always throw on some sunflower seeds, or nuts, for more texture.
    • This vinaigrette will last in the refrigerator for about four days, so make extra! It's so yummy!

      I have my radishes planted, cannot wait for Spring! Avocado is my go-to for breakfast at the minute, but I have had enough of it on toast, so I am going to switch it up and use it for this salad instead!
