For a richer flavor, consider using toasted sunflower seeds. If you don't have dried cranberries, raisins or chopped dates make a great substitute. Massage kale well. Massaging the kale is a crucial step that softens the leaves and makes them easier to digest. Don't skip it! Customize add-ins. Feel free to add other vegetables like diced cucumber, bell peppers, or red onion to this salad. Make it ahead. This salad can be prepared a few hours in advance. Just wait to add the sunflower seeds until right before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
