The BEST Kale Salad

Kale is one of my all-time-favorite vegetables. Whenever I’m in London there’s kale in almost every meal (ask my boyfriend ;)) . In Vienna sadly, only in Winter. So, here comes my personal favourite recipe for a kale salad. Simple and delicious.

Concerning the different ingredients, this recipe is really adjustable. Instead of cranberries you could use blueberries or other berries. Or you can swap the apple for a pear and so on.

Tip: Massage your kale

The secret for the best consistency in a kale salad is to massage it beforehand. Kale can be pretty tough and unpleasant to chew otherwise.

Remove the firm stems, pluck the leafs into smaller pieces and just start massaging it, around 2-3 minutes should be enough. Don’t hold back, it can take it.
