How to Massage Kale

Step 1

Remove stems from leaves. Discard stems.

Step 2

Chop kale leaves and place in a large bowl.

Step 3

Add a generous drizzle of olive oil and about 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice. If you want more acidity, you can add another teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice, to taste. Add a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Massage with your hands for 1-2 minutes, until softened and tender. You'll notice that the kale will reduce. Make sure you don't massage for too long, or it will become mushy.

Step 5

Now, your kale is ready to be used for salads. Try my Roasted Cauliflower and Kale Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing! Enjoy!
