Welcome to the video and introduction to the salad.

Introduce 2 bunches of kale, explaining its nutritional benefits.

Remove the tough stems from the kale, ensuring the pieces are not too big for easier chewing.

Wash the kale several times in cold water with vinegar and salt to remove pesticides.

Drain the kale in a colander for 2 hours to remove excess water.

Place the kale on two tea towels to air dry, then dab with another towel to ensure it's dry.

Add 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil to the kale.

Squeeze in the juice of 1 big lemon.

Add several drops of Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of honey mustard to the kale.

Massage the kale for a good 5 minutes to break down the fibers and make it more digestible.

After 5 minutes, add salt to taste, 1 grated garlic clove, and about 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Massage the salad for another 2 minutes to incorporate all the ingredients well.

Finish by topping the salad with fresh walnuts.
