Notes
1. Kale can be very fibrous and somewhat bitter. Lacinato Kale is less bitter but still, a few minutes of an oil massage will make the kale more tender and bring out some of the natural sweetness.
2. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to and hour to allow the flavors to marry before serving. This makes a huge difference in flavor!
