2018 RECIPE NINETEEN: Tuesday April 24 - kale salad with mango

BACK STORY:
As part of the clean eating challenge at work I needed to eat something with kale. And I also had a mango that was starting to go bad, so I did a quick Google search to find a way to combine them!

NOTES:

Massaging the kale made a HUGE difference and it was so fast! Half a lemon with some oil and salt, and I used my hands to squoosh the kale around in the dressing mixture. I cut up the mango and added that with some sunflower seeds and almonds (I didn't have any pepitos). I didn't add the honey as the mango is very sweet and ripe, so I just left the oil and lemon as the dressing. 

STARS: 

4 out of 5. Worth exploring more options with the massaged kale as base. So good!

Ingredients




Directions

In large serving bowl, add the kale, half of lemon juice, a drizzle of oil and a little kosher salt. Massage until the kale starts to soften and wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside while you make the dressing. 
In a small bowl, whisk remaining lemon juice with the honey and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stream in the 1/4 cup of oil while whisking until a dressing forms, and you like how it tastes. Pour the dressing over the kale, and add the mango and pepitas. Toss and serve.
