Kale Salad - the King of Greens! image

I got this recipe from the TV show The Chew, it is from their healthy contributor Daphne Oz. I'd never tried raw kale, but was impressed with the simplicity of this one. Wow, is it wonderful...the secret is massaging the kale to break down it's fiber. Then, oh boy, an easy and nutritious salad is ready to go.
