Wash, stem, dry, and chop the kale. Place in a large bowl, add the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage the kale for 5-10 minutes or until the tough fibers begin to break down. Some varieties of kale are tougher than others and really need to be worked a bit. When you are done the kale will have considerably reduced in volume.
Combine with the grated carrots, red onion, cucumber, lemon juice, and more salt to taste if you wish.
