Notes
Top tip
A great way to soften the kale is to add a splash of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt to the leaves, then massage them with your fingers. I love to do this before mixing kale with other salad ingredients. It also turns the leaves a beautiful vibrant green colour.
Storing
This kale beet salad can be made in advance and kept fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the dressing separately in a lidded container in the fridge and add to the salad just before serving.
