Kale-is probably the most talked about Leafy Vegetable today.
I had tries making a dish with Kale but was not succesful. I tried eating fresh kale but it seemed chewy and the leaves tasted little bitter and the texture was rough.
Recently my friend brought a Kale Salad to my home. It was really good-did not taste bitter and was not as chewy.
She told me she added almonds and a little oil and lemon juice.
I adopted this salad from her recipe. I like to have nuts and cranberries in my salad so I experimented by using peanuts and cranberries, I added a little balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice.
Kale Salad-Easy and Yummy!!
