Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped) and 1 cup chopped tomatoes to the bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Zest the lime over the salad, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice from both halves over everything.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt and toss well to combine. Taste and add more salt or lime if needed. Serve immediately.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: add a pinch of chili flakes or black pepper for extra kick.
