Massaged Kale Salad with Lemon Dressing

Method

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl put the kale, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, parmesan and salt.

  2. 2

    Using clean hands start massaging the kale salad and continue to do this for about 3-4 minutes {you want the kale to reduce down to about half of what you started with}.

  3. 3

    Taste the salad and add black pepper and continue to massage for another few seconds. Taste again and adjust seasoning accordingly.

  4. 4

    Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days {I find it better the first few days}. If you have a Trader Joes near you, you can buy a 10oz bag of kale that has already been trimmed and the ribs removed. I like to add additional ingredients to this salad sometimes like grilled chicken or salmon, nuts, fresh or dried fruit or beans.
