A few months ago I had this amazing kale salad from the local health food store. I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own version, a Sesame Kale Salad. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but my kale salad recipe tasted better than the one from the cafe! I had to restrain myself to save some for my husband and not eat it all!!
Kale is low in saturated fat and is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, potassium, copper and manganese. It is also a good source of protein, dietary fiber, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), total folates, iron and phosphorus.
Ingredients:
- 1 Large Bunch (1 lbs or so) Dino Kale, Also known as Lacinato or Tuscan Kale
