Prepare the Kale: Rinse the kale thoroughly under cold water. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped kale in a large mixing bowl.

Massage the Kale: Drizzle half of the lemon juice over the kale. Using clean hands, massage the kale for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes tender and slightly wilted. This process reduces the bitterness and makes the leaves more palatable.

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, remaining lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine Ingredients: Slice the ripe avocado into cubes. Add the avocado, cherry tomatoes, and toasted pine nuts to the massaged kale. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Serve: Transfer the salad to serving plates. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for an added layer of flavor.
