This recipe is a perfect example of why I am so happy to have found cookbooker. I know I never would have googled kale in search of a salad (or any other kind of) recipe. I made this after reading southerncooker's review. I was intrigued enough that I had to try it. And I have to say -- this was very good.

I followed the technique for massaging the kale but used sections of two honey tangerines instead of the mango since that is what I had on hand -- and then made a vinaigrette with tangerine juice, a little champagne vinegar, some honey mustard, and EVOO. I would have added some toasted slivered almonds but didn't have any, so I tossed in some toasted sunflowers seeds and they added a nice bit of crunch.

I loved the bitter/sweet contrast, the color contrast of the dark green and orange, and the texture of the kale. I will definitely make it again, using the mango and pumpkin seeds the recipe calls for.

This was absolutely amazing. We loved it. Who'd have thought massaging kale would make such a tasty salad with mango and pumpkin seeds. I know we'll be making this one again. The leftovers were even good the next day straight from the fridge.
