Why kale?

Kale is full of antioxidants and full of many other nutrients that protect us from several types of cancer. It has a lot of iron, even more so than meat. Kale has a lot of fiber that helps to clean and detoxify our bodies. The omega-3 content gives our brain the nutrients it needs for top performance, and if that wasn’t enough, kale also lowers our risk of getting type 2 diabetes.

What are the benefits of kale?

Kale has protein and a perfect balance of magnesium and calcium, and when you add a little lemon juice to it, you can absorb the calcium much better. And it also has vitamin A, K, and a lot of vitamin C. Why kale?? Because kale is delicious! Just look at the picture. Don’t you wish you could have a bowl of this salad right in front of you to taste it?

Tips and tricks to prepare this salad:

Choose smaller leaves for freshness and milder flavor.
Look for crisp, green leaves without yellow spots or holes
Cut off the stems but do not toss them away. Use them for juicing, or for soups.
If your family does not like kale at all… start slow. Start by adding less kale and more veggies or combine it with spinach or other greens.
For this salad, I prefer green kale. For sauteeing or baking, I use tuscan kale, dinosaur kale or purple kale.
Here is the recipe for my kale pesto that is so good you realy need to try. You can make it with almonds (affiliate link) or with walnuts, or even pecans.

Some variations for the salad

In a large bowl whisk first the lemon juice, soy sauce, and oil. Then add the curly kale or lacinto kale leaves and start massaging them until soft.
Finish the salad with the seeds and nuts of your choice. Toasted almonds, walnuts or pumpkin seeds will work best here.
You can even finish it with cooked or toasted quinoa for an extra boost of vegetable protein. A good pinch of freshly grated black pepper will also go a long way here.
Or use other grains like farro, brown rice or even edamames or other beans.
If you want it to be more flavorful use lemon zest, thinly sliced red onions or crumble some baked tofu vegan feta cheese on top.
