Notes
Does Kale wilt?
As with most pulled greens, after some fridge time, kale begins to wilt. This process is often what keeps kale a great ingredient to work with in warm or hot food recipes. If the kale starts to wilt before you have had a chance to make a salad, cut the bottom stems (like a flower) and put them into a glass of water. They perk right back up!
What kind of kale to use in salad.
Any kale will do but this salad is made with Curly Kale.
Why massage Kale?
Kale is often “massaged” to break down the leaf and allow it to open up so all the fresh lemon and oils can break inside.
