Instructions

• If your kale is not already chopped, remove tough stems and chop until you have 2 cups chopped kale; place the kale in a large bowl.
• Prepare the vegetables: halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes; slice cucumber into 1 cup sliced cucumber; add both to the bowl with the kale.
• Add 1 cup mozzarella cheese (torn or cut into bite-size pieces) to the bowl.
• Halve, pit, and dice 1 medium avocado; add the diced avocado to the bowl.
• Add 1/4 cup chopped red onion to the bowl.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder; stir or whisk until blended.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
• Taste and, if desired, adjust seasoning by adding more garlic powder, lemon juice, or olive oil from the amounts listed; then serve.
