Have you ever tried massaging kale? It makes for a glorious salad, and here I pair it with a few simple ingredients for a wonderful side dish.
Ingredients
1/2lblacinato kale
2tbspyour favorite dressing
1/2tspsaltor to taste
black pepperto taste
1/2cupblue cheese crumbles
1/4cupdried cranberries
1/4cupchopped pecans
Instructions
Remove the leafy portion of the kale by running your finger along the stem, stripping the leaves off. Discard the stems, then tear the leaves into small pieces. Wash and dry thoroughly.
Place the washed kale leaves in a bowl and add the dressing and salt. Rub and massage the kale leaves together for a few minutes, until the kale loses a lot of volume and starts to wilt. Toss the kale with the other salad ingredients (like blue cheese, cranberries, and pecans), and enjoy!
