Kale, known for its versatility, benefits from a highly acidic dressing that tenderizes its coarse, curly leaves, making them tastier without prolonged chewing.
Using an acidic salad dressing allows the tough fibers of kale to soften. Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice can brighten the flavor while reducing bitterness.
Tossing kale in an acidic dressing 15-30 minutes before serving is effective. The oil helps coat the leaves, enhancing flavor and promoting acid absorption.
Salad dressings generally blend fats and acids, with vinaigrettes standing out due to their acidity, making them the ideal accompaniment for kale salads.
