Use your hands to massage the kale with half the avocado and a pinch of salt until the kale is tender and has reduced in size.
Add the lime juice and maple syrup and toss well to coat.
Top the kale salad with the remaining avocado, strawberries, and walnuts. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
