Massaged Kale Salad Recipe

There are so many ways to vary this salad: You can toss in some slivered baby carrots, substitute another kind of nut, or add a bit of thinly shredded red cabbage for extra color or sliced celery or bok choy for extra crunch. Even in its simple form, as presented here, it's luscious and festive. I find it almost addictive; but I suppose that if one is going to be addicted to something, it may as well be kale!
