Simple Kale Salad
This kale salad is simple, light and made with just a few fresh ingredients. It's a great side salad with enough flavor to hold its own. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 lemon juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup shaved parmesan cheese
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Saute the garlic. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil and add the minced garlic. Saute the garlic over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Set the garlic infused oil aside to cool.
- Remove the kale leaves. Prepare the kale by removing the leaves from the stems and roughly chopping or tearing the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Add ingredients and massage. Place the kale in a large bowl. Add the cooled oil and garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Then gently massage the kale for a minute or two with your hands, or until the leaves start to wilt.
- Garnish. Top the kale salad off with freshly shaved parmesan and serve.

Notes
- Kale is a pretty durable green. You can store this salad for up to 3 to 4 days in a sealed container in your fridge.
- When it comes to juicing lemons, my little stainless steel juicer can't be beat.
