4 Videos | Photo: Massaged Kale Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale (black kale is especially good), stalks removed and discarded, leaves thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 mango, diced small (about 1 cup)
- Small handful toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), about 2 rounded tablespoons
Directions
In large serving bowl, add the kale, half of lemon juice, a drizzle of oil and a little kosher salt. Massage until the kale starts to soften and wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside while you make the dressing.
In a small bowl, whisk remaining lemon juice with the honey and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stream in the 1/4 cup of oil while whisking until a dressing forms, and you like how it tastes.
Pour the dressing over the kale, and add the mango and pepitas. Toss and serve.

The honey and mango are perfect additions to help with the bitterness of the kale. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this raw kale salad. Like another reviewer; I also reduced the amount of oil. A little goes a long way. Will definitely make this again.

Use a food processor and pulse handfuls of kale to speed up the cutting process and reduce the amount of time massaging the kale. I only used 2T olive oil total. Using olive oil doesn't negate the fact that it is still oil and loaded with calories. Let's keep our kale healthy! Took this to a luncheon and women asked for the recipe knowing that with that extra little kick of mango and honey they could get their kids and grandkids to eat kale.

Delicious. I then added some leftover quinoa for extra texture and sprinkling of sultanas, and that was pretty darn tasty too. This is a keeper.
