Directions

Step 1

Rinse the kale and spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner.

De-stem the kale leaves by holding the stem with one hand and stripping the leaf away with the other hand. Tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

In a large salad bowl, combine the kale and spinach leaves.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.

Peel the cucumber, halve it lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Slice it thinly and add to the bowl.

Step 6

Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, then chop into small pieces and add to the salad.

Step 7

Peel and grate the carrot and add it to the mixture.

Step 8

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into cubes and add it to the salad.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, continuing to whisk until the dressing is well combined.

Step 10

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 11

Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top of the salad for added crunch and flavor.
