- Cook Lentils: Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Add green lentils, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool.

- Assemble Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine massaged lacinato kale, cooled lentils, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, minced shallot, and Marcona almonds; toss gently.
