Instructions

  1. Massage kale: In a large bowl add the kale and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Massage the kale and then toss really well making sure that all the kale is coated in oil.
  2. Mix remaining salad ingredients: Add the rest of the salad ingredients to the kale.
  3. Make vinaigrette: In a jar add all the vinaigrette ingredients together, close the lid and shake the jar until everything is combined.
  4. Toss salad and vinaigrette: Drizzle the vinaigrette over the dressing and toss everything together well.

Notes

  • Kale is one of the only greens that you can wash and prep days in advance—it's so hardy that it rarely wilt. However, for optimal freshness, it's best to wash it just prior to making the salad.
  • Kale salads hold up better if you make them a few hours ahead of time since the vinaigrette will help to break down the tough leaves.
  • This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Like most salads, freezing is not recommended.
