Simple Kale Salad
- 1 bunch kale
- 1-2 lemons
- 1 generous handful dried cherries or cranberries
- 1 generous handful walnuts
- Sea salt
- Olive oil
- Chop or tear kale into small pieces (finer/smaller the better)
- Drizzle with olive oil ( you want it coated but not soaked)
- Add lemon juice ( I like a strong lemon taste and will use closer to 2 lemons depending on the size of bunch, but it can be tart so adjust to your taste)
- Let stand 1 minute
- Massage olive oil and lemon juice into kale (yes, with your hands! after about 2 minutes you will feel the kale texture soften, massage a little longer)
- Mix in dried fruit, nuts and pinch of salt
- Serve (it stays fresh for 1-2 days after making, and doesn’t wilt and get mushy like other salads when stored!)
