Have you ever tried a marinated salad? Mmmmmmmm... The marinating process really works magic! We used to not like raw kale, finding it too bitter and tough for our taste. But that was until we finally mustered the courage to prepare a marinated kale salad. You can find many, many variations of it, including
Russell James' delicious
Wilted Kale Salad with a Creamy Chipotle Dressing.
Here is the first kale salad we tried, and one of my personal favorites:

1/2 bunch green kale (chopped fine)
1/2 bunch dino kale, aka Russian kale (chopped fine)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup nut butter (almond or cashew butter is best)
1 cup parsley (chopped)
1/2 cup soaked goji berries
1/2 cup sunflower sprouts
1 avocado (chopped)
1 tomato (chopped)
2 tbs. lemon juice
1 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
How to: Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and massage this mixture until soft and creamy. :-)
Carmella's notes: I've been making this salad with only Dino kale and replacing the nut butter with a couple of tbs of olive oil. I also like to throw in some seeds on top such as hemp or spicy dehydrated pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I made it once with goji berries (although I put way less) and it was delish but it's just as yummy without.
