Massaged kale salad pairs nicely with mango and gorganzola

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kale is finally getting the attention it deserved for being so good for you. Home Cuisine's Mae Pike shares a salad recipe using this super food. And with a little extra effort, the tough leaves become soft and pair nicely with fruit and a savory cheese.

Massaged Kale Salad with Mango & Gorganzola

1 bunch Kale

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

juice of 1/2 lemon

1 Tbsp. honey

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1 large mango, peeled and diced into 1/2? cubes

2 Tablespoons Pepitas (Pumpkin Seeds)

2 Tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse and dry the kale leaves. Trim out the inner stems and discard. Slice the kale leaves into 1/4? -thick ribbons and place in a large mixing bowl.

Add 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil to the bowl with the kale, along with the juice of 1/2 the lemon and the kosher salt. Using your hands, squeeze and massage the kale for three minutes, until it has wilted considerably.
