Easy Kale Salad

Like most people, kale is not the first green we turn to when making raw salads. Kale is a lovely green and all, but straight out of the bag, it can be super rough and quite bitter. It is however, one of the most nutritious greens out there! Making a salad out of this veggie will give you healthy doses of vitamin A, C, K, D and calcium. Eating kale will give you more iron than eating beef! Further more, kale’s high nutritional value helps strengthen your immune system, helps fight off diseases and detoxifies your body!

When prepared in the right way, kale can also give you a fresh, fruity salad that is actually delicious! Seriously! The dressing that accompanies this contains lemon juice. Once we make the dressing, we massage the dressing into the leave – allowing the acidity in the lemon juice to break down those stubborn kale leaves, making them softer, sweeter and actually palatable! Give kale a chance this season and enjoy this healthy summer salad!
