- Juice of 1 lemon (or 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar)

- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add the chopped Kale to a large mixing bowl with the oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use your hands to firmly massage the kale for 30-60 seconds, until it has noticeably reduced in size and the leaves become translucent.
