When you massage kale, you break down the tough fibers in the cell wall that make raw kale hard to digest. I love eating this massaged kale salad recipe with a piece of grilled chicken breast for an easy lunch.
When I started eating healthy, I couldn't digest kale well. It upset my digestion, and I didn't get what all the fuss was about. If this happens to you, the solution is to either steam your kale or massage it.
This massaged kale gut health salad recipe is one of my favorites, because you still get all the amazing benefits of raw kale: enzymes, magnesium, vitamin C, and more.

🍴 Kale Salad Variations
- Higher Protein - Add additional protein of choice, like grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
- Nuts - Swap out the pine nuts for whatever nuts you have on hand. Walnuts go great in this massaged kale salad recipe. I also like to use sprouted pumpkin seeds. If you have a nut allergy, try sunflower seeds instead.
