Instructions

First prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together whisk together lemon juice, oil, vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. If you like the tartness of the lemon juice (I love it!) keep it as is or feel free to add a little extra oil or sweeten a tad if preferred (sugar, honey, or maple syrup are common dressing sweeteners).
To the dressing bowl, add finely diced red onion and set aside to marinate.
Next massage the kale. Wash and dry kale and tear leaves from the stem. Finely chop on a cutting board then place in a large bowl. Drizzle a bit of the dressing over the kale and gently massage it with your hands for a few minutes until the leaves darken and become tender. Massaging the kale helps to break down its fibers and improves its texture.
Assemble the Salad. Add the diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese and optional herbs to the bowl with the kale. Pour remaining dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Let it sit. Allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes or so to amp up the flavor and feel free to add any extra seasoning or veggies to the mix to taste.
Serve and enjoy!
