- A good way to test if your kale is massaged enough is to taste a piece.
- If your kale is really buggy, which can sometimes happen, fill a large bowl with cold water and put the strips in the bowl, then manually agitate the water. The bugs should detach and float in the water. Then you can take the kale out and rinse it.
- If you're making ahead, leave the croutons out or they'll get soggy over time.
