Massaged Raw Kale Salad – Kale is a hearty winter green that holds up well in soups and stews. But it’s also wonderful as a salad if you give it a three-minute massage.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale, preferably dinasaur (lacinato), ribs removed and discarded (6 oz total without ribs)
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeeze lemon juice, from 1/2 lemon
  • 1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano

Directions

  1. Slice the kale into 1/4-inch thin ribbons.
  2. In a large bowl combine the kale with oil and salt.
  3. Using your hands, massage the kale for 3 minutes until the kale softens.
  4. Toss with the lemon juice and grated cheese and serve.
