Recipe of the Week:

I may or may not have shared this before: Kale Salad. Regardless, here’s a reminder to try it because this is so nutritionally dense everyone and their aunt should be eating it. Even my father-in-law who used to not eat “green stuff” said it’s good! It’s versatile so you can top it with pretty much anything you would eat on a lettuce salad.

In our household we don’t follow a recipe, but chop the kale into bite sized pieces and add about a teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of lemon juice and two tablespoons of vinegar (apple, red wine or white) and massage for a couple of minutes and top with our favorite salad dressing. Presto!
