My husband will tell you that he hates kale. I admit that I have served it to him in some not so tasty ways, but that was before I really got to know kale. So you are in luck and you get to benefit from my mistakes and only eat it in the most scrumptious ways. Even Dave will eat this recipe!
Gather Up:
- 2 bunches of kale. Ribs removes and ripped into small pieces.
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, mashed
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (and extra for garnish)
- Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Pour mixture onto kale and toss and massage with your hands. Let this sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
- Next, dump your Parmesan into the kale and toss. Serve with a few extra large shavings of parm as garnish!
**Kale is not like other lettuce. It is hearty and will keep in the fridge, without getting soggy, for several days!**
If you follow my portion control system, I would measure this in your green container and count it as: 1 green, 1/2 blue, and 1 tsp.
