Raw Kale Salad with Feta, Apples, and Pecans Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Raw Kale Salad with Feta, Apples, and Pecans Recipe). I have never used raw kale for anything except juicing, so I was really pleased that my first attempt at making a salad with it was a success. Even though I see variations of this recipe on menus all the time, I was not sure how it would work for me in a salad, so I was a bit intimidated. Browsing through the internet I found an article on massaging kale and I decided to give it a try. This is an absolute MUST if you do not want to feel like you are eating plastic. It was so good, I will have to make it again and try it out on my finicky family.
