Directions:

  1. Massage kale leaves with 1/2 tsp of salt and put in a plastic bag. Place the bag in the fridge for 3 hours with a stone or bottle of pop on top as a weight.
  2. After the salt and kale have rested in the fridge, take the leaves out and chop them up and put them in a bowl. Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss thoroughly to combine evenly.
