I mean, it just didn&rsquo;t&nbsp;<em>sound<\/em> that great to me. But I kept seeing it everywhere, and I finally gave it a try. I&rsquo;m SO glad I got on board with kale salads- they&rsquo;re delicious, and such a great way to enjoy a healthy, cheap, dark green leafy vegetable!<\/p>\n<h2>How to make kale less bitter<\/h2>\n<p>Kale has a reputation as being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/10-proven-benefits-of-kale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">healthy<\/a>, yes, but also bitter and tough. Which can be unappealing when you think about it being served raw in a salad. But I promise- if you get to know kale a little better, you&rsquo;ll find it&rsquo;s a deliciously sweet vegetable, as long as you know a few tricks!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buy kale seasonally.&nbsp;<\/strong>If kale is grown when it&rsquo;s too hot, it can turn bitter. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justataste.com\/in-season-now-kale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kale grown in cooler weather is sweeter<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut the kale into small<\/strong> <strong>pieces.<\/strong> This means it will be easier to chew and more dressing will stick to it <em>(like in coleslaw- you wouldn&rsquo;t want huge chunks of cabbage in coleslaw for the same reason).&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Soak the kale in cold water.<\/strong> This is not only a trick to wash very dirty kale&nbsp;<em>(see recipe notes)<\/em>, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plated.com\/morsel\/mellow-bitter-veggies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cold will help sweeten the leaves a bit<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wash the kale AFTER cutting it up. <\/strong>First of all, it&rsquo;s going to be easier to wash the kale thoroughly when it&rsquo;s cut up, since the dirt can hide in the crevices of the leaves. Second, when you cut kale, you release some of the bitter compounds. Washing it after cutting the kale ensures you wash away this bitterness after it&rsquo;s been released.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pair it with sweet ingredients.<\/strong> This kale salad recipe includes sweet sliced fuji apples, and the dressing includes pure maple syrup. Both of these ingredients help balance the bitterness of the kale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t skimp on the fat.<\/strong> Pairing fat with bitter ingredients helps the flavor mellow out a bit. That&rsquo;s the reason why the dressing for this salad has 1\/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil, PLUS creamy goat cheese that covers every bite. As an added bonus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveoiltimes.com\/olive-oil-health-news\/oil-salads-increases-absorption-nutrients\/59172\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eating olive oil with leafy greens helps your body absorb their nutrients better<\/a>!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Massage, massage, massage!&nbsp;<\/strong>Massaging the salad dressing into the kale is vital. The oil in the dressing is absorbed by the leaves, leaving them softened and more flavorful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I should also note: if this list feels overwhelming, please know that these are a LOT of suggestions, and you can pick and choose the ones you have time for.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/how-to-prep-kale\/\">how to prep kale<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-4.jpg\" alt=\"Kale, almonds, red onions, apples, and goat cheese placed in a glass bowl.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This Kale Salad with Apples and Goat Cheese is massaged with a sweet and tangy maple vinaigrette to soften the kale and remove all bitterness- this recipe will turn anyone into a kale lover! #kalesalad #fallrecipes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-4-560x840.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-4.jpg\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-3.jpg\" alt=\"Mixing a kale salad together in a glass bowl with tongs.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This Kale Salad with Apples and Goat Cheese is massaged with a sweet and tangy maple vinaigrette to soften the kale and remove all bitterness- this recipe will turn anyone into a kale lover! #kalesalad #fallrecipes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-3-560x840.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>How to massage kale<\/h2>\n<p>Massaging kale is the best way to prepare raw kale for a salad. You just use your hands to mix the salad dressing and chopped kale together, rubbing the dressing in as you go. For this recipe&hellip;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Add the dressing ingredients to the bottom of a large bowl.&nbsp;<\/strong>Then, use a whisk to mix thoroughly until the dressing is thick and emulsified.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the chopped kale to the bowl and massage the dressing into the leaves for one minute.<\/strong> You don&rsquo;t have to be gentle with the kale. Really get in there and rub the dressing into the leaves as much as you can, until the leaves are softened. They will seem a lot smaller too, and not fill up the bowl as much.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the remaining ingredients for the salad and toss together!<\/strong> The residual dressing that&rsquo;s coating the kale leaves will also coat the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>FYI, massaging doesn&rsquo;t work for softer greens, like mixed baby greens, but because kale is such a tough leafy green, it&rsquo;s perfect in this situation. It also works well for mature spinach or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingbirdfood.com\/raw-collard-greens-salad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collard greens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-2.jpg\" alt=\"A white plate with kale salad and apples, onions, almonds, a striped towel, and kale scraps scattered around it.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This Kale Salad with Apples and Goat Cheese is massaged with a sweet and tangy maple vinaigrette to soften the kale and remove all bitterness- this recipe will turn anyone into a kale lover! #kalesalad #fallrecipes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-2-560x840.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.bowlofdelicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Massaged-Kale-Salad-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Looking for something yummy to go with this massaged kale salad?

If your kale is a little gritty, I recommend soaking the chopped leaves in a large bowl of water and stir it around to loosen any dirt. Then, use a slotted spoon to transfer the leaves to a colander, and give it a good rinse. Repeat if necessary. The dirt will sink to the bottom of the bowl- this is a great way to wash any gritty greens, leeks, or other notoriously dirty produce.<\/li>\n<li>Goat cheese is easier to crumble when it's cold. I usually use a fork to crumble it directly into the bowl, straight out of the fridge. If it's particularly soft, you can stick it in the freezer for a few minutes to make it more firm.<\/li>\n<li>I like a sweet apple with this- I used fuji, but any kind of apple will do.
