Massaged Kale Salad

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

Toss and serve.

Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch kale (black kale is especially good), stalks removed and discarded, leaves thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 mango, diced small (about 1 cup)
  • small handful toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), about 2 rounded tablespoons
Directions:
  1. In large serving bowl, add the kale, half of lemon juice, a drizzle of oil and a little kosher salt. Massage until the kale starts to soften and wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside while you make the dressing.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk remaining lemon juice with the honey and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stream in the 1/4 cup of oil while whisking until a dressing forms, and you like how it tastes. Pour the dressing over the kale, and add the mango and pepitas. Toss and serve.
