The organic strawberries were on sale and the dino kale was looking delicious, as always, so I had to throw this together. It cost me around $5 for two big servings. Which, of course, I ate both of immediately.

I never was a real believer in massaging kale, but I did it this time and honestly, it made a huge difference. So please everyone, massage your kale. After chopping it up, just rub the leaves together until they soften and turn a darker green. Plus it reduces some of the bitterness. It was well worth the 60 seconds it took. And speaking of chopping kale, I found an awesome video online showing the easiest way to do it.

Finally, the dressing I threw together works well, but feel free to make up your own. Salad dressings are easier than you think to make, so have fun!
