I never realized you could eat raw kale before I made this. I always had kale cooked, but now I much prefer it raw. The balance of sweet, tart, and crunchy with the salty cheese in this recipe is wonderful. And you can make it one day and keeps without wilting for a long while - if you have any left.

Of course, upon tasting the salad, every one of them has asked for the recipe. Because it's so easy to make, (and super extra delicious, but they already know that) I don't hesitate to pass it along. I also find myself recommending it when people ask for a quick, yummy salad recipe. I think I love to pass it along because it's a) mostly raw food; b) easy to make; c) a good way to get people excited about kale; and d) keeps so well in the fridge.

I am NOT a neat gardener, obviously. I am always looking for ways to fix kale as it is so nutritious..and did I say I have lots of it? Once I make it for friends, they all want the recipe and are introduced to Cookus Interruptus.I have a friend and nutritionist who didn't care for the kind of kale I grow until she ate this. Now I have people to help me use my kale. Massaging it is a great way to tenderize this wonderful green.

Two restaurants served massaged kale which was delicious! I looked it up when I got back to Tennessee, and discovered Cookus Interruptus. My husband really likes it. We live in an area where fried catfish is still the main dish, so it will take some time to get this dish into the local consciousness.

Anyway, finding this recipe sounded good, but seeing the video made it clear how and why to massage the kale. Every person I share the dish with wants the recipe... so then they get the recipe and the website = exponential growth possibilities for watching this video! Thanks for making eating kale a delicious pleasure!

I first saw the concept of massaged kale in action at a PCC class I took in the winter of 2011 (massaged kale and quinoa). Then, when the kale exploded in the garden, I needed ways to use up a LOT of it. So I've made this recipe more times than I can count, and have eaten it for several days at a time (lots of kale in the garden, so I make vats of this salad!) and can attest to the fact that it keeps and yes, it's divine. I've directed people to the recipe via my blog (and see my title all over google on a search...all dated after my post): http://mcfwriter.wordpress.com/2011/12/14/all-hail-king-kale/ Kale Rocks!

My sister introduced me to it. We made the salad at a family gathering; I hadn't seen the video. When I got home, I watched the video. Because it's so incredibly delicious, it comes up often in conversations (especially since I have a lot of friends who have various food restrictions, and most of them can eat this). THEY all have to go watch the video. Then they tell their friends, because it's so incredibly delicious. . . . And on it goes. It is INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS. Our household now has some variants on the recipe that we use regularly. I went out and bought a very large stainless bowl because we wanted to make bigger batches, even though there are only two of us. Because it is INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS. And amusing.
