Place the thinly sliced onion into the boiling water for 15 to 30 seconds, and then shock them in the cold water, stopping the cooking immediately. Drain the water and blot the onions with a paper towel. Add the onion, bacon, olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well. Add the mayonnaise and mix the slaw well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Delicious recipe for kale! I have made this numerous times and everyone raves, even those who didn't think they would like kale! Most of the time I am too lazy to quick cook the onion because I love them raw. Otherwise, I follow the recipe. For those who are too lazy to grate the carrot...I buy them already grated at the store.

I LOVED this! I did not add the bacon (my husband is vegetarian, or the carrot (I was being a little lazy....figured it was more for color than taste. However, followed the rest of the recipe very closely. Used meyer lemon juice with the orange. The tip on quick cooking the onion was fantastic! I can't believe, as much as I cook, I didn't know that tip! They were still crunchy and tasty, but that overwhelming onion taste was gone. I seriously could have eaten this entire dish myself. I will make this often.
