Prepare the Kale

1. Wash the Kale: Rinse the kale leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
2. Chop the Kale: Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
3. Massage the Kale: Place the chopped kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with a pinch of salt and massage the leaves with your hands for 1-2 minutes to soften them.

Prepare the Veggies

1. Slice the Vegetables: Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber and bell pepper, and thinly slice the red onion.
2. Combine in a Bowl: Add the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion to the bowl with the kale.

Make the Dressing

1. Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined.

Assemble the Salad

1. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until the kale and veggies are evenly coated.
2. Add Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped nuts over the top, if desired.
