Top the salad with croutons just before serving to keep them crunchy.

This salad can be made in advance; just keep the croutons separate to maintain their crunchiness. The salad is best eaten within a day or two for optimal freshness. Consider adding cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or roasted nuts for additional flavor and texture. Kale is sturdy and ideal for meal prep.
