Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch of kale washed and de-stemmed
  • 2-3 Tablespoons water
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Chop (fine or medium is fine - depends on your preference) or shred kale.
  • Add all the kale to a large bowl and sprinkle with the water. If you're using more kale, add a tad more water.
  • Cover the bowl with a microwave cover and cook on high for about 2 minutes (less if you are using less kale). If you don't have a microwave cover, toss the greens every 30 seconds or so to encourage the steaming process.
  • Remove and let cool slightly, tossing a few times with a fork.
  • Sprinkle with lemon and sea salt, then toss to combine. Enjoy!
