For an extra layer of flavor, try adding toasted sesame seeds or chopped almonds. The massaging step is crucial for improving the texture of the kale. Don't skip it! This salad is best served immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The kale will continue to soften as it sits.

StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, fresh orange juice, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, and grated fresh ginger. (2 minutes)
02
StepSlowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking until the dressing is fully emulsified and smooth. (1 minute)
03
StepPlace the thinly sliced lacinato kale in a large bowl. (1 minute)
04
StepPour the honey-ginger dressing over the kale, ensuring all the leaves are coated. (1 minute)

StepUsing your hands, gently massage the kale for 3-5 minutes until it begins to soften, wilt, and reduce in volume. This process breaks down the kale's cell structure, making it more tender and easier to digest. (5 minutes)
