This week, we got fresh avocados, both black and tuscan kale, as well as beets in our Organics Live produce box, so we decided to combine all of these delicious ingredients to form this perfect autumnal salad. The combination of flavours is just perfect! Feel free to swap out feta for goat cheese if you prefer, and avocados are definitely optional.
