Simple Kale Salad Recipes

SIMPLE KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse kale under cold water. Remove stems, roll leaves, and slice into thin ribbons.
• Place kale ribbons into a salad spinner to remove any excess water. This is important if you want your dressing to adhere to the kale leaves.
• Transfer the kale to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, then add salt, garlic and lemon juice.
• Gently massage all the ingredients into the kale using your hands. If the kale is very tender, you can simply toss with tongs (no massage required!).
• Enjoy as-is or add your favorite salad toppings.

EVERYDAY KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the kale, olive oil and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Use your fingers to massage the oil and lemon juice into the kale for about 1-2 minutes, or until the kale has softened.
• Add the Parmesan, sliced almonds, a pinch of salt and a few twists of black pepper and toss until evenly combined. Taste and add extra salt, pepper or lemon juice, if needed.
• Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy!
