Make Kale Salad

Kale is a nutritious vegetable.


Kale is a healthy vegetable that is often called a "super food." Kale is a sturdy vegetable and holds its crisp texture well in a salad. The leafy green is also mild in taste so you can mix it with almost any fruit or vegetable and still have delicious kale salads. Kale is a good source of calcium and iron as well as an excellent source of vitamins A and C. Eating a kale-based salad is one of the best ways to combine taste and nutrition.


Instructions








Kale & Vegetable Salad








1. Slice the garlic clove in half and rub it on the inside of the salad bowl. This gives a subtle taste of garlic to the salad.


2. Mix the kale, beet, carrot and olives together in a bowl.


3. Toss with the oil and vinegar dressing.


4. Top with crumbled feta cheese and enjoy.


Kale & Fruit Salad


5. Mix the kale, peach, plum and blueberries in the bowl.


6. Add the honey and oil and vinegar dressing to a small cup and whisk together. The honey sweetens the dressing slightly, which helps it pair nicely with the fruit in the kale salad.


7. Add the dressing to the salad and toss together.


8. Sprinkle the pecans on top of the salad and serve.
