Kale has been recognized as one of the healthiest foods that we can eat. Most people don’t really know of all the different ways to use kale. I’ve always thought it had to be boiled until soggy. But after researching different recipes, I came up with a wonderful kale salad that can be made to your own liking. The recipe here calls for certain ingredients, but you can add whatever fits your taste. You can make this ahead of time and store in the refrigerator.
Adding kale to your diet once or twice a week can be a great benefit. So try different ways to use it and add to salads, soups and even pastas.
