Massaging the kale with a little olive oil and lemon juice before adding the other ingredients helps to soften it and make it more palatable. Toasting the sunflower seeds enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. For a tangier dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. If you don't have golden raisins, regular raisins or dried cranberries work well too.
