Massaged Raw Kale Salad

About This Recipe

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)

Instructions

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.
