Prepare the Kale

  • Wash the kale and pat it dry. Remove the stems and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Make the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Assemble the Salad

  • In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale and dressing. Massage the dressing into the kale until well coated.

Add Toppings and Serve

  • Add your chosen toppings to the salad. Toss lightly, then serve.

Voilà!

  • Indulge in your creation and savor the moment. Bon appétit!

Recipe notes

  • Kale: Massaging the kale with the dressing helps to break down the toughness of the leaves and makes them more enjoyable to eat.
  • Toppings: Feel free to customize your salad with your favorite toppings. Some good options include toasted nuts, seeds, dried cranberries, or crumbled cheese.
  • This salad keeps well in the fridge for a day or two, even with the dressing on. The sturdy kale leaves don't wilt as quickly as other salad greens.
