Massaged Kale Salad
1) One bunch kale, stalks removed and discarded, leaves thinly sliced.
2) The juice of a lemon
3) ¼ c. extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling.
4) Sea salt
5) 2 tsps honey
6) Fresh ground black pepper
7) Mango, peeled and diced small
8) Small handful toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
In large serving bowl, add the kale, ½ the lemon juice, and a drizzle of oil with a little salt. Massage until the kale starts to soften and wilt, 2-3 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 ¼ cup of oil while whisking until a dressing forms.
Pour the dressing over the kale, and add the mango and pepitas. Toss and serve.
