Slice kale leaves into small ribbons (this is easy to do if you roll up the leaves, then slice). Place in mixing bowl with EVOO, lemon juice and salt. Mix up and massage with your hands for about 3-5 minutes to break down the stiff leaves - the salad will shrink to almost half it's size. Add all of the ingredients and mix well. Add black pepper to taste and play around with adding more of the various ingredients until it's to your liking. Enjoy right away or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
