Jackee’s Kale Salad with Feta and Dried Cranberries

1 large bunch kale (about 12 leaves) removed from stalk
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1-1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup toasted sunflower kernels
1/2 cup crumbled or diced Mermaid Farm Feta
1 crisp apple, diced small

Slice kale in very thin strips. In a large bowl, mix kale with salt and begin to massage vigorously for 3 minutes. This breaks down the fibers and releases some of the bitter flavor. Toss with vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Add remaining ingredients and serve.
