Stak a few leaves and roll them up to slice into small pieces.

Gotta say I tried it and made it exactly as is with the exception of using a bag of organic Whole Foods chopped kale, which I chopped even more. Excellent. Love the Asian flavours here. Thank you.
Thank you, Tomek!
Made this a few nights ago, so simple and delicious!
It is even better the next day, I love how kale holds up for leftover salad-my husband and I actually fought over the leftover salad 🙂
Wow! Now I’m not the biggest fan of salads. But this makes me want to dive right in! Love this.

This looks SO good. I used to dislike kale until I learned how to prepare it right. Slicing them thin like you do is does the trick!
Thank you Jean ! I totally hear you. Once I learned that kale needs to get massaged first before serving it made all the difference. I’m loving it !
Tuscan kale is my favorite kind of kale – this salad looks fantastic!
