Kale is one of those vegetables that everyone knows is good for them to eat. I mean, everyone has seen the words “kale” and “superfood” paired together like a billion times. So, you may be thinking, “I get it already! I know kale is good for me! So, how the heck do I make it taste good?”

You’ve got to put some love into it. Literally. Massage it. That’s the key. Want to make kale palatable without having to cook it? You have to massage it and that technique is exactly why this salad (and this one too) are so good that you forget you’re eating leaves.

The secret for this delicious kale and mango salad is massaging the kale with olive oil. It wilts the leaves and adds an undeniable flavor that upgrades the whole salad.Don’t skip this step and make sure that you do it well. Follow my advice and you will be eating this salad like its your favorite dessert. 

One thing to note – if you have a MONSTER bunch of kale, you can use half of it in this recipe. And be sure to choose organic produce whenever possible to eliminate unnecessary exposure to toxins from pesticides.
