- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic. Cook and stir until garlic is fragrant and softened, but not browned. Adjust the heat as necessary.
- Add golden raisins to garlic in skillet; cook and stir until raisins have plumped and softened, about 15 seconds. Add lemon juice and zest, stir to combine.
- Remove from heat; add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Drizzle warm vinaigrette evenly over kale; toss to coat.
- Sprinkle salad with toasted almonds and Parmesan cheese shavings. Serve.
