Kale Salad ~ BLT Style

This farm fresh recipe is an evolution.  One day we needed a quick vegetable to go along with our dinner, Rae picked a bunch of kale and cut it chiffonade style (long thin strips).  She tossed in some toasted sunflower seeds and mixed it together with enough mayonaisse to coat.  It was so good!  The next night, I tried the same salad, this time adding garden fresh tomatoes.  It was better than the first!  It was delightfully reminiscent of a BLT, so you know what happened; crunchy bacon was added to the next composition.

One Bunch Kale ~ About 8 Leaves

Coat with a Tablespoon or so of Olive Oil ~ Use your hands and coat it well
