Massaged Kale Salad

I loved this recipe! I tweaked it just a bit for my taste and what was available at home.

I didn’t use the anchovy paste and I didn’t have any fresh sliced Parmesan. So I added grated Parmesan/ Romano cheese & added some chopped walnuts for that crunch factor. I eyeballed the measurements of the ingredients and It was still delicious! Thank you for the recipe!

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!

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 !

Outstanding! Made without the fish. Subbed 1 t minced capers. Served with sliced pears. Next day - used some leftover in broth with roasted veggies for soup. Then used last bit in the Stuffed Sweet Potato recipe on this site. Versatile, easy and tasty!

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.

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 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 stopeating 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

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 scrumptiousCons: 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!!

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
