Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables around. If you find yourself bored of lettuce or mixed greens, substituting kale in a salad is just as delicious and really creates a unique flavor. Kale is filled with antioxidants and nutrients, known for lowering your risk of certain cancers and diseases.
The Facts: One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6, 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus. Below is a recipe for kale salad that I have created, and I use it about once week. It is very simple but extra yummy. Try it out :)
Red onions chopped, red cabbage chopped, shaved carrots, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
dash of kosher salt and black pepper
