Dressing:

Croutons:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Cut the baguette into slices, and then cubes, add to a baking sheet, then add olive oil, garlic powder and salt and toss enough to evenly coat the baguette cubes. Bake for 10 minutes, until golden. Remove and set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, add kale pieces, half of Parmesan cheese, dressing and half the croutons. Toss to coat. Garnish with remaining croutons, Parmesan cheese and avocado if desired. Enjoy!
