For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving. If you prefer a different type of cheese, goat cheese or Parmesan would also be delicious in this salad. To add some protein, try topping the salad with grilled chicken, chickpeas, or toasted nuts and seeds. Massaging the kale is crucial for a better texture. Don't skip this step!

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil and minced garlic until evenly coated. (3 minutes)
03
StepArrange the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven until tender and lightly browned, about 15-20 minutes. (17 minutes)
04
StepWhile the asparagus is roasting, prepare the kale. In the same bowl used for the asparagus, massage the chopped kale with a pinch of sea salt for about 1-2 minutes, until it softens slightly. This helps to break down the kale and make it more palatable. (5 minutes)
05
StepAdd the halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped avocado to the massaged kale. Gently mix to combine. (3 minutes)
06
StepOnce the roasted asparagus is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut the asparagus in half and add it to the salad. Gently toss everything together to combine. (5 minutes)
07
StepServe immediately, or chill for later enjoyment.
