Massaged Kale Salad

Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches kale
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil 
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 minced anchovy fillet or 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
  • Take stems off of the kale, break kale up into smaller pieces. 
  • Combine all ingredients
  • Recipe says massage with hands, but I find that gross, so I put half the kale into a gallon ziplock and squeeze the air out and then knead it like dough, that reduces the fluff, and then I add the rest and do the same. Works nicely.
  • "Massage" till the leaves have reduced the volume they take up in half and the leaves look shiny.

Christy's lazy way:
  1. Juice of 2 lemons
  2. splash of soy sauce
  3. capful of truffle parm 
  4. pour of olive oil
  5. a sprinkle of pepper
  6. 6 cloves of garlic through the garlic press
  7. 1 bag of kale with stems removed
Mix everything together in a ziploc bag. Travels great for the airport (your seat mate might disagree - hahah) and great overnight - the lemon juice softens the kale up a bit more overnight.
