When I started eating healthy, I couldn’t digest kale well. It upset my digestion, and I didn’t get what all the fuss was about. If this happens to you, the solution is to either steam your kale or massage it. This massaged kale gut health salad recipe is one of my favorites, because you still get all the amazing benefits of raw kale: enzymes, magnesium, vitamin C, and more.

Massaging nourishing olive oil and lemon juice into the salad also helps make the nutrients more bioavailable and easier to assimilate. Plus, it tastes delicious and can be paired with grilled chicken or fish for a classic healthy meal. I love creating new gut health kale salad ideas for you guys to try out.
