½cupor as desired, cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
⅓cupabout Kalamata olives, cut into quarters
½medium red onionthinly sliced
½cupor as desired, Feta cheese, crumbled
¼cupshelled pistachio nutstoasted and salted
Instructions
Place the kale in a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the top, squeeze the lemon juice over, and then add the salt. Using your hands, gently begin massaging the kale, (as you would knead bread) using your fingers to gently rub the leaves and pull them apart from the hard center stem. After about 2 minutes you will feel the leaves get softer, remove any stems from the mix as they become loose. Continue to massage the kale for about 4-5 minutes. Add the additional ingredients and toss well.
You can massage the kale and leave it in the refrigerator for a few hours before composing the salad. You could make this salad in its entirety up to 1 hour before serving - add the nuts at the last minute to preserve their crunch.
