Kale is unique among salad greens as it benefits from moisture exposure, unlike fragile greens that wilt. Adding dressing increases moisture absorption, enhancing palatability. Massaging is effective because it breaks down cell walls due to kale's high cellulose content, improving texture and chewability. Rough kneading with dressing softens the leaves, making them enjoyable to eat. Allowing kale to sit with vinaigrette for 10 minutes also helps to tenderize it before serving.
