Massaged nutrients (day 290)

Dr. Fuhrman says Kale, Watercress, Collard/Mustard/Turnip greens are the most nutrient dense foods and we should be eating them more.  He put cheese and butter at the bottom of the list, along with...doughnuts!?  That was depressing.   While in Montreal I was mentioning to Leila how Kale may be nutritious but it's a bit hard to eat -- lots of chewing and the texture not so great.   She said "massage it!"  Massage it?  I googled it.  Sure enough massaging is an accepted way of tenderizing a tough green.  And it's fun.  Just add a bit of oil and salt to the cut and de-stemmed greens and massage away for 3-4 minutes.  It gets really green and some brine is released.  If you let it sit for a half hour afterward, it gets even more tenderized.  I adapted a kale and root vegetable recipe found by the google search, to match what my mom had in her kitchen.  It was the best kale salad I've ever had.  I've made it twice since then.  Dr. Fuhrman also says the salad should be the main meal.  This salad makes that a pleasure.
