kale salad
Trendy green dish
A kale salad is a dish featuring raw kale leaves as the base, typically massaged with oil or dressing to soften their tough texture.
The green became a health-food staple in the 2010s, appearing on menus alongside quinoa and avocado: I'll have the kale salad with lemon vinaigrette.
The dish has become shorthand for virtuous eating or gentrified tastes.
