Massaged Kale Salad:
The easiest and tastiest massaged kale salad. The part that makes this salad perfect is the time you take massaging your kale. I like to add you olive oil, lemon juice, salt, kale, and massage the kale for a few minutes to break down the kale. You will see the kale turn a different shade of green after doing this for a few minutes, and the kale will feel less rough, that is how you know it is good to go.
Ingredients you will need:
Once you are done massaging your kale add the fixings you would like to have in your salad. I personally love the candied pecans, feta cheese, dried cranberry, and pomegranate combination. But the possibilities are endless!
- Candied Pecans or regular raw pecans
- Feta Cheese
- Dried cranberries
- Hemp seeds
- Pomegranate seeds
- Pears
- Apples
How to store:
This salad will hold up for a few days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I like to meal prep these and have them in individual Tupperwares so in the morning I just grab and go.
Can I add protein to salad?
Feel free to add any type of protein to this salad. I personally love having this salad without any additional protein especially because I love adding hemp seeds. But if you want additional proteins try adding grilled chicken, sautéed mushrooms, salmon, or shrimp.
