Rinse kale under cold running water and dry.
To cut the kale: fold the kale leaf in half, lengthwise, that way the leaves are on one side and thick stem that runs along the middle is on the other side. Use a sharp knife to slice off the stem and discard.
Cut the kale leaves and add them into a mixing bowl.
Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil over kale and toss them to coat with oil evenly. Gently message kale leaves with clean hands for a few seconds. This will soften then kale and make it easier to chew.
