Even if you haven’t decided to jump on the kale bandwagon, give this recipe a try. It’s full of nutrients and it tastes great. I’ve made it twice and I learned something each time.

1. It’s best made early in the day, as the flavors need time to meld together before serving.

2. Don’t toss the dressing using your hands. The second time I made this salad, it was for a crowd and it was easier to use my hands to mix all of the ingredients rather than tongs or serving spoons. However, when massaged, although the bitterness of the kale disappears, it also breaks down the leaves to the point where it can appear soggy. Better to toss it lightly rather than giving it the vigorous massage that is so often recommended, otherwise it will look overdressed and be too wilted. The first time I made it, I let the dressing doing the softening as it sat in the refrigerator and that produced a superior result.

I can’t believe I made this salad twice and didn’t take a picture of it either time, but you’ll find one along with the recipe at the link below.
