Massaged Kale Salad

Ingredients

2 bunches kale

1 teaspoon salt

1-2 tablespoons lemon juice (or other acid such as apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Remove kale from stems and rinse to remove any dirt. Allow kale to dry.
2. Add kale to a large bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
3. Massage kale for about 5 minutes. The kale should wilt and become less bitter. Add extra lemon juice if needed (some tougher varieties of kale may require more acid to break down).
4. Add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to kale and toss to distribute.
5. Serve as is or add other toppings as desired.
