• Start by making the lemon dressing. To make the dressing just combine all the ingredients listed above in a jar with a lid
• Shake the dressing really well, helping it to emulsify,
• Next, dip one of the kale leaves in the dressing, adjusting the sugar or honey, salt, and pepper to taste.

MASSAGING THE CHOPPED KALE

• Massage the chopped kale with a pinch of salt and a little bit of olive oil.
• Just rub with your fingers for about 4-5 minutes or until the leaves begin to darken and tenderize.
• This process of massaging the kale causes the kale to have a silky texture and helps to make it really taste fantastic.

ASSEMBLING THE SIMPLE KALE SALAD

• In the large bowl, combine the already massaged kale, cranberries, cheddar cheese or feta cheese, onion, carrots, and almonds
• Be sure to shake the lemon dressing in the jar with the lid again, and then pour about ⅓ to ½ of the dressing all over the salad.
• Toss the salad to make sure it is coated. If not enough for you, then add additional dressing for your taste.
