-
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, mustard, and pepper. Add the kale. Using your fingers, gently massage the dressing into the kale until the kale has wilted from 8 cups to 6 cups (this will take a few minutes). -
Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with the sunflower seeds and Parmesan.
Cooking Tip: Adding a dab of mustard to homemade vinaigrettes helps keep the oil and vinegar together.
Keep it Healthy: Kale is a powerhouse with its profusion of vitamins and minerals. Consider keeping a bag in the freezer so you can toss a handful or two into soups or stews for added nutrition.
Tip: Massaging the dressing into the kale leaves tenderizes them and mellows any bitter flavor.
