Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh kale
- 1 avocado
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 bacon slices
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the kale. Remove the tough stems and roughly chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the kale in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by mashing the avocado until smooth. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 3
Pour the avocado dressing over the kale and use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale for about 2-3 minutes. This helps to soften the kale and enhance its flavor.
Step 4
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Crumble the cooled bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced almonds to the kale salad. Toss all ingredients together until well incorporated.
Step 6
Divide the salad into bowls and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Enjoy your Keto Creamy Kale Salad!
