Asparagus Kale Salad with Lemon and Parmesan

Loaded with crisp asparagus, almonds, and kale, this hearty asparagus kale salad is an ultra-flavorful and nutritious side dish for any meal.

Ingredients:

For the asparagus: – Olive oil – Asparagus – Garlic – Salt – Black pepper

Add olive oil to a skillet over medium high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes or until just tender. Stir in the minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Set aside.

In the same pan, over medium heat, toast almonds until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a bowl or jar, combine the dressing ingredients.

Next, chop or crush your croutons. Some larger chunks can remain.

Place chopped kale in a large bowl. Drizzle on a bit of dressing and massage into the leaves for about 2 minutes, or until they’re softened.
