Massaged Kale Salad
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale washed, de-stemmed, and torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional: cooked beets sliced apples, vegan walnut parmesan, seeds, nuts, dried cranberries (or raisins), but for a more savoury salad, you can add tempeh, coconut bacon, marinated tofu, shredded carrots...anything your tastebuds desire.
Instructions
- Run your washed and torn kale through the salad spinner until dry. Pour off excess water and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil on top. With clean hands, massage the kale by squeezing and gently twisting until the kale "wilts" down and turns into a bright green. It'll start to look sweaty and it'll lose its bitter bite.
- Top with salt, lemon juice, and give another good squeeze. Add whatever other salad toppings you'd like. Enjoy!
