• Cut the thick center stem from each kale leaf and discard. Working in batches, mound a handful of kale on the cutting board and gather it together tightly. Slice crosswise to make very thin ribbons. Put the kale in a large bowl and toss with the mango dressing. Let stand at least 15 minutes and up to 45 minutes to wilt slightly.
