Start by preparing the kale. Take the washed kale leaves, remove the stems, and tear them into bite-sized pieces. Place the kale in a large salad bowl.

In a separate small bowl, prepare the creamy dressing. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure everything is integrated smoothly.

Step 4

Pour the creamy dressing over the massaged kale, ensuring all the leaves are evenly coated.

Step 5

Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the salad and toss everything together to distribute the cheese throughout.

Step 6

Top the salad with toasted slivered almonds and thinly sliced red onions for added crunch and flavor.

Step 7

Give the salad one final toss and serve immediately. Enjoy your low carb creamy kale salad!
