Simple Kale Salad Recipe

Kale often has a bitter flavor that I don't particularly enjoy. In this Simple Kale Salad Recipe, I demonstrate how to tenderize and soften kale, which helps to reduce that bitterness.

You may know that I enjoy experimenting with different gadgets, so I've been using this kale trimmer for kale salads. It's quite enjoyable. However, if you prefer a minimalist approach, it's also very straightforward and easy.

Kale is considered a superfood because of its high fiber and iron content. However, its nutritional value may decrease if you don't buy organic, as non-organic kale often contains a significant amount of pesticides. Remember, kale is on the dirty dozen list, indicating it has a high level of pesticide residues. More info here.
