Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups kale and 2 tbsp olive oil. Massage the kale with your hands for 1-2 minutes until it turns bright green and softens.
Step 2
Add the 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped) and 1 cup chopped tomatoes to the bowl.
Step 3
Zest the lime over the salad, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice from both halves over everything.
Step 4
Sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt and toss well to combine. Taste and add more salt or lime if needed. Serve immediately.
Step 5
Optional: add a pinch of chili flakes or black pepper for extra kick.
