Kale Salad

If you have ever tried to eat raw kale, even raw baby kale, you know that the texture leaves a lot to be desired. I have heard it called "cardboard" and "inedible". The trick to eating raw kale is to massage it for approximately 3-5 minutes after the dressing has been applied to it. This breaks up the tough fibers and gives kale a softer consistency. Here is a video where you can see Dr. Hyman himself demonstrate this process: https://vimeo.com/59538591. Yields 4 servings.
