  2. Take a large cutting board and finely shred 4 cups of Lacinato kale and 2 cups of Brussels sprouts using a sharp knife or a mandoline.
  3. In a small skillet, toast 1/2 cup of sliced almonds over medium-low heat for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Once the toasted almonds have cooled, add them to the bowl containing the shredded kale and Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Drizzle your prepared lemon dressing over the salad mixture, starting with half, and toss gently to coat the greens.
