This Kale Kimchi Avocado Salad with Sesame Vinaigrette is one of my favorites due to the fact

that I also add watercress, radishes and onion which really kicks it up a notch.

Dressed simply with a toasted sesame oil vinaigrette, the resulting blend of zing and zest definitely

delights the palate.

But what really makes this salad sing is the hot chili pepper flavor of Korean-style kimchi–the fiery,

spicy fermented cabbage so popular in Korean cuisine which adds just the right amount of “heat”

and mouthwatering goodness to this dish.

For this salad, I used Gold Mine Organic Kimchi which is a vegan, raw, naturally fermented version

without the fish sauce, shrimp sauce, sugar and preservatives that are commonly found in commercial

kimchi.

Not only is kimchi high in fiber, low in fat, and rich in vitamins, it’s also loaded with lactobacillus kimchii,

healthy probiotic bacteria that aid digestion and may even help prevent disease.

Of course, learning how to make my own vegan kimchi from scratch is high on my to-do list.

With nourishing ingredients like these, this salad delivers a nutritional power punch.

Best of all, this easy to make salad will be ready to serve in minutes.
