Method
Preparation
Prepare the Kale
Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Massage the Kale
In a large bowl, combine the kale, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to massage the kale for about 2-3 minutes until the leaves are tender.
Toppings
Chop the Vegetables
Halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber into small pieces, and slice the avocado.
Add Toppings
Once the kale is massaged and tender, add the chopped cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds on top of the salad.
Serving
Toss the Salad
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
Serve
Serve the kale salad immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
