Simple, healthy, and incredibly delicious—that's what most people who've tried this dish agree with. Both children, who can be hard to please, and adults will love this salad. The dressing and mango pair perfectly with the kale, and the whole thing looks bright and appetizing. Kale leaves are quite dense, so even the second day the salad retains its excellent appearance and flavor. Letting the dish sit for a while after cooking will further infuse the kale with salt, lemon juice, and oil. Dried cranberries or peaches can be substituted for the mango. This salad pairs well with grilled fish or chicken.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a large serving bowl, combine the kale with half the lemon juice, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a little salt. Mash until the kale begins to soften and wilt (2–3 minutes). Set aside while you prepare the dressing.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining lemon juice, honey, and plenty of ground black pepper. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, whisking constantly until the dressing is combined. Make sure it's to your liking. Pour the dressing over the kale, add the mango, and pumpkin seeds. Toss and serve.
