Kale Salad with Goat Cheese, Pecans, and Apple
This will be the apple of your eye!
Massaging Kale? Did I Read That Right?
Yes, massaging kale is an important step in making a delicious kale salad. Kale is a tough leafy green that can be bitter and hard to digest if not prepared properly. Massaging the kale with your hands helps to break down the tough fibers and soften the leaves, making it easier to eat and enjoy. It also helps to bring out the natural sweetness of the kale, which pairs well with the other flavors in the salad. So, make sure to massage your kale before adding the other ingredients to make the perfect kale salad.
