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
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!!
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
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!
Kale is still a quirky vegetable for me-so this recipe gave it a new boost-I did switch the oil/lemon juice ratio-definitely will be making it again-I also massaged the Kale in a large zip loc bag-keeps the anchovy and garlic off the hands but still in the salad-all in all a very tasty good salad!
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
This was pretty good but I don't think it really needed the full 1/3 cup of olive oil. Also 6 servings in the recipe?! Maybe 3 for dinner for an adult.
I m not super thrilled with kale but I do like this perhaps thanks to the olive oil cheese and garlic. My husband and I are trying to eat more healthily and I ve grown more kale than I know what to do work. This ( and the kale chip recipes) work!
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
