Kale!?

So tomorrow is Nat'l Kale Day....I have ate plant based for over a year and a half, and just this week I found a recipe for kale salad that I LOVE! I have tried kale all kinds of ways and most of the time I just didn't care for it. But this salad is to die for...and hubby loved it too!

Kale is a super food...(so I hear)



So here is the recipe....

KALE SALAD

3 cups kale chopped up small
tomato diced
1 garlic clove
1 TBS Dijon mustard
1 TBS maple syrup or agave
1 ts balsamic vinegar
slat and pepper to taste


Chopped up the kale add to a bowl, mix mustard, syrup and vinegar. Add minced garlic.
Mix dressing with the kale use your HAND and massage it! Yup it breaks down the kale a bit and gets rid of the bitter flavor... Now let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes
Add diced tomatoes, salt and pepper
Enjoy!

It tastes even better after it is refrigerated. 

Try it and let me know if you like it.....
