Massaged Kale + Fresh Berry Salad with Citrusy Vinaigrette ??
{Many people dislike kale, mainly because we were unsure how to properly prepare it for actual FLAVOR ENJOYMENT.
Sooo…HOW do we LOVE to eat this nutritional powerhouse? ?
‘Massaging’ raw kale transforms it from a tough, bitter leaf into a sweet, delicate, and delicious salad!} –
Here’s how:
Serves 3
Ingredients:
1 large bunches curly kale, de-stemmed and torn or chopped into pieces, about 6 cups
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions to Prep Kale:
Add the kale to a large glass bowl along with the salt and lemon juice. ‘Massage’ (think of the motion used to rub someone’s shoulders…get your hands in there!) kale for 4 minutes, or until leaves are sweet and tender. Add the olive oil and give one more quick ‘massage.” –
