For the dressing

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the sliced almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for 4–5 minutes, until golden and fragrant — watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Transfer to a plate and let cool.

Place the sliced kale in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the kosher salt. Using both hands, massage the kale firmly for 1–2 minutes, until the leaves darken, soften noticeably, and reduce in volume by about half.
