Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 bunch kale, (I prefer Lacinato kale)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8th teaspoon sea salt
- 1 clove crushed garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- 1
Rinse kale under cold water. Remove stems, roll leaves, and slice into thin ribbons.
- 2
Place kale ribbons into a salad spinner to remove any excess water. This is important if you want your dressing to adhere to the kale leaves.
- 3
Transfer the kale to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, then add salt, garlic and lemon juice.
- 4
Gently massage all the ingredients into the kale using your hands. If the kale is very tender, you can simply toss with tongs (no massage required!).
