    4. Place the romaine lettuce and shredded kale in a mixing bowl. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Italian dressing and begin to massage the dressing into the kale and romaine leaves.
    5. Add the remaining ingredients: tomatoes, corn, and broccolini. Toss all together.
    6. Place on a serving dish. Top with a few pieces of avocado. Garnish the salad evenly with goat cheese, pistachios, and golden raisins.
    7. Drizzle with a little more dressing. Eat and enjoy!
