Kale has higher antioxidants then most vegetables and fruits. One cup provides nearly the same amount of vitamin C as an orange. Kale is high in lutein, and an excellent source of vitamin K. Adapted from Food & Wine magazine.

This is good, but I do think I would have preferred the kale to be raw in this. Even after cooking the kale for only a couple minutes, it was very soft, no crispness left at all. Great flavors though, and the leftovers were good cold.

My husband and I love this! I've experimented with different kinds of tomatoes - Sungold, or even chopped up Early Girl and heirloom varieties - and occasionally added sweet or bell peppers. Simple, quick to throw together, and delicious!

This is an interesting use of kale. While it will not replace romaine, it does give the salad a nice chewy texture. I made this using seeded, diced roma tomatoes. The only things I might add would be some thinly sliced red onions and cucumbers to the salad. The dressing would be nice with some oregano.
