This Massaged Baby Red Russian Kale Salad recipe is easy and made with kale, olive oil, Kosher salt, optional lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and fresh ground black pepper.
Hi Everyone, have you tried Baby Red Russian Kale?
We got it in our last organic CSA share box (from Roots to River farm) and I feel like the best way to celebrate it is as a massaged kale salad.
This could easily be combined or topped with other ingredients; in this case, the quality of the greens is so high that I feel like they shine well on their own.
Red Russian Kale has curly leaves and purple stems - it's a beautiful variety of kale!
The neat thing about "Baby" Red Russian Kale, is that you don't have to remove the stems to make the salad, they should be tender enough to include them.
If they are tough, then just remove them.
If not, you can catch it here, Organic CSA Share Box Week 9, and our previous weeks:

So when you "jump" to the recipe, there is no mention of massaging the kale. Did that happen somewhere else? It's in the name of the dish so you thinkbit would be in the instructions...

Hello Sina, Thank you for taking the time to comment and for bringing this to my attention. I'm sorry for any confusion about the instructions for massaging the kale in my Massaged Baby Red Russian Kale Salad recipe.
Actually, the instructions for massaging the kale are included in the recipe card itself, which can be found below the post. I understand that it can be frustrating when instructions are not clear, and I will make sure to be more careful in my future posts.
I appreciate your feedback, and I hope you enjoy the recipe. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to help. Kind regards, Sara
