Start by making the dressing: add all of the ingredients to a small blender or a food processor and pulse for 10 seconds. Reserve the other half of the shallot for the actual salad.
Place the kale in a large bowl and add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil, along with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Then, use your hands to massage the kale for at least 30 seconds, which will help break down the bitterness of it.
Add the remaining salad ingredients to the bowl, then pour the rest of the dressing on top and use kitchen tongs to toss everything together. NOTE: if you're preparing this in advance, wait to add the dressing until you're ready to serve; otherwise, the kale will get soggy.
Enjoy!
