Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Kale Salad with Fresh Lemon Dressing:
1. Prepare the Kale: Wash the kale thoroughly and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Remove the tough stems for a better texture.
2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Combine Ingredients: Place the chopped kale in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the kale.
