Our Favorite Kale Salad
Super quick kale salad with tons of flavor, extra parm, and just a few other ingredients. Perfect as the base for a protein for dinner or on its own as a light lunch!
Ingredients
- 2 bunches lacinato kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
- ½ lemon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup grated parmesan shreds
- ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the kale and tear into large bite-sized pieces.
- Add the kale to a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Use your hands to mash the oil into the kale, squishing fistfuls of the kale to soften it slightly.
- Let the kale sit for about 10 minutes, then add the lemon juice, grated parm, and salt. Stir to combine and taste - adjust the seasonings any way you'd like.
- Right before serving, stir in the large parmesan shreds and the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Eat!
Notes
The grated parmesan gives this an important texture, but you can skip the shreds if you don't feel like dragging out multiple types of parm!
Most important thing: this should taste GREAT. Strongly salty and lemony and cheesy. Add more of each ingredient until it does!
