Mexican Kale Salad

Tear the kale into bite-size pieces, no larger than a half-dollar, and place in a large bowl.

While the kale is softening, make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the lime juice.

Peel off the skin from the chicken, remove the legs and wings, and run a knife down the breastbone to remove the breast. Using two forks, shred the meat, pulling apart any chunks, or use a food processor: Place the meat into the food processor and run on medium speed for 30 seconds, or until thoroughly shredded.
Toss the kale with the lime dressing. Add the shredded chicken, beans, tomatoes, and scallions; toss again. Add the cheese and toss lightly to finish.
