I don’t know about you, but I love eating salads in the summer!

I have tried kale several times and not liked it.  I never realized I was missing a very important step and what a difference it made!!!

Did you know you should massage your kale???  That is right, you must massage your kale!

I have made this salad 5 times already since trying it!  Now I LOVE Kale!  So here is the recipe:
