  • 2 bunches kale we used Lacinato kale
  • 1 teaspoon salt for rubbing
  • 0.333333 cup olive oil plus more for rubbing

Instructions
 

  • Slice and segment the blood oranges, saving any juice that escapes, and set aside. Wash and drain the kale. Tear it into bite-sized pieces, or slice into thin ribbons. Sprinkle with half the salt and a drizzle of olive oil, and gently rub the salt into the kale with your bare hands to break it down just a bit and release the brilliant green color. Taste, and add more salt if desired.  Combine the kale with the orange segments/juice and the chopped nuts. Whisk together the olive oil, citrus zest and juice, minced garlic, black pepper and stevia, if desired. Dress the salad and toss well.  (Recipe #736)
