Notes

Storage tips: This salad will keep in the fridge in diferent airtight containers for up to 3 days.

If you’re meal prepping: If you want to meal prep this salad, store all the ingredients in different containers to ensure it doesn’t become soggy.

Use a good quality olive oil to massage the kale: Ensure you use the best tasting olive oil you can get to massage your kale! The olive oil will penetrate all over the kale, so the better the olive oil, the better your salad will taste!

Brush the avocado with lemon juice to keep it from turning brown: Avocados start oxidizing quickly after cutting them. To make your avocado look fresh for longer, brush the avocado with lemon juice!
