I love a simple flavorful salad, especially when it’s made from raw kale! I guess that you could say that this recipe is inspired by the kale salad from Park + Vine. It has the same sesame profile, but it’s just a bit lighter and a touch less salty.
Making a raw kale salad is actually pretty easy! I think the key to a great kale salad is to really massage the dressing into the kale to breakdown the plant fibers. So, don’t be afraid to get your hands into this salad, your hands are the best tool for the job!
