​​How to Make Kale Avocado Salad
To make the kale avocado salad, start by rinsing the chopped kale under cold water and then place it in a large bowl.
Massage the kale with a little bit of olive oil for about a minute to help soften it. Next, add the diced avocado, sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and sliced almonds to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Serve immediately or let it sit for a few minutes for the flavors to meld.
