Massaged Kale Salad

Introduction
Even kale needs some love. Massaging an acid-based dressing into the fibrous green leaves tenderizes them, making the healthy vegetable more palatable in its raw form.
Ingredients
2 bags baby kale salad
4 tablespoons Garlic Dijon Vinaigrette
juice and zest of one lemon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped (optional)
4 tablespoons Garlic Dijon Vinaigrette
juice and zest of one lemon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped (optional)
Directions
Place the kale in a large mixing bowl. Pour dressing and lemon juice over the greens, then massage the dressing into the kale for 5 minutes. This will help soften the kale. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, add the egg, black pepper, and lemon zest.
