how-to-massage-kale-massaged-kale-salad-recipeWhat is the world coming to now that we’re massaging our vegetables?!? I promise you this isn’t just some new age fad. Massaging kale is a simple way to make a super nutritious salad.

Its exactly the way it sounds. Put kale in a bowl with salt and lemon juice then “massage” it with your hands for a few minutes until it softens and starts to break down a bit. Yes, I said massage. Like rubbing someone’s shoulders. Don’t be shy. Really get in there and rub! Once your kale is nice and loose, add some additional ingredients, and voila! Dinnertime.

I was at the farmers market yesterday and saw an “end of the season cherries” sign. Sigh. I hate anything that is in reference to summer ending or even getting shorter. Before cherry season ends for good this year, I wanted to bring you one more cherry recipe in remembrance of “the good old days”. Luckily, peach and nectarine season is upon us, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to get over it.
