Tips:

- 1: Massaging the kale: Kale can be tough and fibrous, so it helps to massage it with a bit of olive oil and lemon juice until it becomes tender. This also enhances the absorption of the dressing.

- 2: Ripe avocados: Make sure to use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture. If your avocado is too firm, it won't blend well with the other ingredients.

- 3: Toasting pine nuts: For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they turn golden brown. Be sure to keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.

- 4: Adjust seasoning: Always taste test your salad before serving and adjust the salt and lemon juice to your preference.
