  • 2 cups Kale

  • In a large serving bowl, add the kale, half of lemon juice, a drizzle of oil and a little kosher salt. Massage until the kale starts to soften and wilt, 2 to 3 minutes.

Notes

*PREPARATION: To get a head start, prep the melon and cucumber and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. You can do this the day or night before. When you're ready to serve, simply toss with the other ingredients, or do so about an hour in advance. Note: It's best to chop the mint just before serving, as it can turn brown and limp if prepared too early.
*STORAGE: Leftover salad can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. Since it doesn’t contain lettuce, it won’t become too soggy.
