Course: Appetizer, Salad, Side Dish
Cuisine: American, European
Keyword: Kale

Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Large Bowl
  • Juicer
  • Zester

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Kale (about 4 cups) stems removed
  • 1 Lemon zested and juiced
  • 2-4 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3-4 Scallions / Green Onions
  • 2-3 tbsp Dried Cranberries
  • 2-3 tbsp Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • Wash the kale under cold running water. Shake the leaves dry or pat them dry with a paper towel or dish cloth (you just don’t want them dripping wet).
  • De-stem (remove the tough stem) from each leaf of kale and save for later or discard. Tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. (this step is not necessary if you are using baby kale)
  • Place chopped kale in a large bowl; drizzle olive oil and lemon juice onto the kale; use clean hands to “massage” the kale for 3-5 minutes. Let kale rest at room temperature for up to 1 hour.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and toss to combine.
  • Eat and enjoy!
