my husband and I both loved this one. It was easy & quick. Leftovers still had some crunch when I had it for lunch the next day.
I will be using this recipe again. It was delicious especially if you like garlic. I added grape tomatoes and seedless cucumber. It could easily be a meal. Very good recipe.
I put all the ingredients in a zip lock bag and massaged it there. It was a lot less messy than using your hands.
Easy & tasty I really liked this recipe as did many other guests at a recent dinner. It was fairly to make though a little messy. It really reminded me of a ceasar salad with kale. My only criticism would be that the 3 cloves of raw garlic was a bit overpowering. Next time I make this I will use 2 small or 1 large clove. Pros: Flavor healthy Cons: Too much garlic
I like this best using a meyer lemon. The flavor is excellent and it keeps well and just gets better the next day. I couldn't stop eating it. So easy and so very healthy!
Heaven on a plate! I made this with the Tuscan variety of kale and it was absolutely delicious!! I have been dreaming about this salad all week since I first made it. I bought more kale at my farmers market today. I told them about this recipe and they were intrigued that I was eating the kale raw. I told them to try it. Thanks for such a delicious recipe! Pros: Simple to make with few ingredients Cons: You have to like the taste of raw garlic
Amazing Kale in 5 minutes! I use the Trader Joe's bagged organic kale. No need to remove the stems just pour a half bag into a big bowl with the ingredients and start massaging! Sometimes I add chopped apple chicken almonds or even avocado to make it a meal but really it's good without any additions. I've now made this salad five times and every time I'm amazed at how easy and delicious this is. My two-year-old helps to squeeze the lemons and then eats it up with me. Pros: Fast healthy delicious
Delicious! This is my favorite way to eat kale. I use the prewashed and bagged kale. It takes only about 5 minutes to prepare and is the most delicious vegetable. Pros: quick easy healthy fabulous Cons: none!
My new favorite way to eat kale! I love kale and am always looking for ways to sneak more into the family meals. I usually wind up putting it in soups because it tends to be tough. This method not only makes it tender it tastes so wonderful! I bought anchovy paste for the first time in my 45 years and although I'm sure this is good without it I believe it's better with it. And what I really like is that if we don't eat it all today I can put it in a container in the fridge and it's good for several days...plenty of time to get it all eaten up without losing flavor or texture. How many green salads can say that? Then I can top it off with a pouch of salmon or leftover steak or chicken or even cut up lunch meat. Sometimes I mix in spinach or other salad greens to add variety too. You just cannot go wrong with this! Pros: Simple using healthy fresh ingredients tastes delicious. Cons: none!
Delicious! I had a big bowl of this salad left over from dinner on my kitchen counter when I had friends over. I set out a plate of cookies for the get together but it was the salad which my guests inhaled! It was a big and unintentional hit. The salad will become a staple on my dinner menus. Fast delicious and so healthful. Pros: Fast healthy and scrumptious Cons: None
Unbelievably good! This was my first meal of kale. I bought it for my parrot who loves salad but wouldn't eat this. I tasted it but couldn't chew it up! It just stays in your mouth it's so tough. The only salad recipes I found didn't mention the toughness factor so I thought everyone but me must get tender kale! (I don't know what type I get at Walmart) Rather than toss it I accidently saw this recipe and I'm SO glad I did!! It's my favorite salad and I buy kale every week to have it. I've since steamed it & put it in soups but my favorite way is this massage - wonder who thought that up?? I thank them though - I'm sure I'm a healthier person now that kale is a large part of my diet!! Thanks again to the submitter... Pros: quick & easy Cons: only con is that it's addicting!!
Shockingly delicious! Addicting! I can't get enough of this salad. I want to eat it for every meal! I knew steaming kale softened it but a massage? What a great technique - and it works! Everyone should try it because it's so healthy. I left out the anchovy as I didn't have any but will add it next time though I can't imagine the dressing could be better. Pros: So good for you Cons: it disappears too quickly
Super delicious My daughter had a similar salad in a resturant and I couldn't figure out the techique. I had a a-ha moment when I read this recipe and had to try it. The salad is just delicious and not at all bitter. The greens become very tender and flavorful. Can't wait to try again. Pros: Great flavor without cooking
Best kale salad I have tased I have never seen my 11 year old son sneak into the kitchen to eat salad before dinner but when I made this I couldn't keep him away. He has never liked kale before but I don't think that will be a problem any more. This salad is now one of our top family favorites. To make this salad I used pre-washed pre-cut kale and added a small amount of broccoli rabe I omitted the anchovy. Pros: easy tastes great
It's a Kale Caesar! Awesome! I've been making raw kale salads for years. I love to add nuts whole grains fruit etc... They are great make ahead salads because the kale only gets better as it marinates in the dressing. The massaging technique is revolutionary because it softens the texture of the kale and really helps to develop the flavor. I'm going to try this with my other recipes too! Also you can use a lot more kale:) Pros: Easy healthy delicious
