Kale If I Know part 1

by admin
Touted as a super food, kale packs a nutritious punch.
Great! The difficult thing is that it’s not always easy to choke down. It can be tough and earthy not to mention GREEN. Many are adverse to anything GREEN. Luckily I am not and I love a good challenge. The best way to eat vegetables is, of course, raw.
 
That can be tricky with kale for the reasons mentioned above. But two things can be done to get around that: massage adult kale a bit to break down the fibers or get baby kale instead. That’s what I did recently for two different salad ideas. To add a little different texture & flavor, I also mixed in some baby spinach.
 
 
 
For this salad, I went with a sweet fruity flavor balanced with a mustard vinaigrette. The raspberries added a delicious sweet berry flavor that tempered the earthiness of the kale. So give this super food a try in a salad. You might not even realize it’s in there!
