Notes

  • Dry the kale as much as possible with a salad spinner, paper towels, a kitchen towel before massaging.
  • You’ll know you’re done massaging the kale when it looks moist and the volume of kale has reduced to about ⅔ the amount you started with.
  • Use a whole egg for a more traditional dressing or mayonnaise if that weirds you out.
  • Use a mix of both kale and Romaine lettuce for a really nice texture!
