Instructions

In a large serving bowl, toss in the kale with a drizzle of olive oil, about 1-2 tablespoons. Squeeze half of a lemon over the top.
Massage the kale leaves with the olive oil and lemon juice. Set aside to break down.
Next, begin a quick saute over medium-low heat of the asparagus, sundried tomatoes, and peas with olive oil. Saute quickly for 5 minutes. This is just enough time to break down the veggies while still maintaining their nutrients. We want the asparagus to have a bit of crisp to it, not become a mushy mess.
Squeeze ½ lemon into the pan. Add in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to melt together.
Toss the sauteed veggie mixture over the kale. Toss together the red onion, pumpkin seeds, and avocado. Serve immediately or place in the fridge for later.
