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 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.
