Ingredients

200 gram Kale
1 – 2 tbsp Lemon juice
1 – 2 tbsp olive oil good quality. extra virgin
Salt & black pepper freshly ground
1 tbsp Toasted hazelnuts roughly chopped
25 Red grapes
40 gram Västerbotten If you cannot get hold of Västerbotten, use Pecorino shavings instead

Instructions

Discard the stems of the kale and chop the leaves
Add the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper to the kale and gently massage the leaves until they tenderise
This takes a few minutes and you will see the kale go a darker green colour (massaging makes the kale's tough cellulose structure break down and wilt a bit)
Taste it, if it is no longer bitter, it’s done
Add the toasted hazelnuts to the salad along with the halved red grapes and Västerbotten cheese shavings
Serve immediately
