Gather all ingredients: almonds, lemons, kosher salt, olive oil, garlic, kale, and freshly grated parmesan.

For the dressing, squeeze about a third cup of lemon juice, which took about three lemons.

Combine one and a half cups of extra virgin olive oil and about a teaspoon of kosher salt in a bowl.

Mix in four minced garlic cloves and whisk together.

Add the lemon juice to the dressing mixture and set aside.

Wash the kale thoroughly and blot it dry with a paper towel.

Cut off the thick stems from the kale and slice the leaves into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

In a bowl, add the chopped kale and pour in about half of the dressing.

Mix the kale with the dressing, allowing it to soften and absorb the flavors.

Add about two cups of almonds and freshly grated parmesan cheese to the kale salad and mix well.
