the waiting is the hardest part.

who knew such an unlikely thing as kale salad would become all i can think of when i'm hungry these days.

dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper.
i've thrown a few radishes in this time.
i think celery would be good, too.
i've been told toasted pine nuts belong in there, and i don't disagree, i just don't have any in the house.

i've also been told that a little massaging of the kale before dressing makes it less bitter.

who wouldn't be?

and it certainly does seem to mellow it out if you let it sit a spell after dressing it.

that's the hard part, though.

if i turn my head right this very second, i can see lunch waiting on the dining room table.

i think it's had just about enough alone time.

try it. i didn't believe it could be that good,
and now i can't believe how good it is.
