Massaged Kale, Blueberry, & Mango Salad

  2 rater(s)

Kale has always been a primary leader in the world of superfoods. Kale is rich in vitamins, minerals, and brain-boosting phytonutrients. This trendy leafy green has anti-inflammatory properties and promotes cardiovascular health.  Since summer is around the corner, it’s time to make some kale salad. This isn’t your ordinary kale salad, though; it’s a massaged kale salad! Yes, you will be massaging a vegetable to eat it.

Why should you massage your kale? The reason to give your superfood a rubdown is to break down kale’s tough structure. The leaves get darker when you massage them because you are essentially wilting them without cooking. You can also add a little organic extra virgin olive oil and a few dashes of sea salt to help tenderize the kale. You’ll have dressed the kale and massaged it in one go!
