if any of you watched top chef last season, this is a recipe from aarti. i'd never eaten kale before and this was definitely a great introduction to it. Also, the dressing is SO GOOD! in aarti's recipe she also adds pumpkin seeds to the salad. I'm not a huge fan of nuts in salad so i left them out :)
1 bunch kale, stalks removed, leaves thinly sliced
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
kosher salt and pepper
2 tsp. honey
1 mango, diced
in a large serving bowl, add kale, half of the lemon juice, a drizzle of oil, and a little kosher salt. (here is the fun part...) massage this mixture with your hands for 2-3 minutes until the kale begins to break down, soften, and wilt.
in a small bowl, whisk remaining lemon juice with the honey and lots of pepper. stream in the 1/4 c. of oil while whisking until a dressing forms.
pour dressing over kale toss together.
add mango when ready to serve and gently toss together again.
