Notes

  • If you really do not like raw kale of any kind then I would suggest that you sauté the kale in a cast iron skillet first.  Simply add a little oil to a cast iron skillet (medium-high temp) and add your massaged kale. Move around the pan constantly for a minute or two and then place in the bowls for serving.
