Directions

1. Strip the kale leaves from the stems using your fingers.
   
2. In a large bowl, combine the de-stemmed kale leaves with 1 tsp. olive oil, juice from 1 lemon (2-3 Tbsp) and salt.
   
3. Put an additional tsp. of olive oil onto your hands to coat.
4. Using a massaging action (similar to kneading bread dough), start to tear the leaves apart and massage. Watch video to see how this is done.
   
5. Continue massaging for about 2-5 minutes or until the leaves are softened, the leaves will also turn a more vibrant green.
   
6. Use this as a simple salad, or add toppings of your choice for a complete meal in a bowl.
