BABY KALE, SPINACH, AND AVOCADO SALAD
We have all heard of the well known green leafy vegetable that is making its reputation around the world as one of the most nutritious vegetables, Kale. Most of us have heard of that kale is good for us, but how do we use it or cook with it? There are many recipes out there floating around the internet on the many uses of kale, however I wanted to show you one recipe that is simple palatable, and easy to make. If you have shopped around for kale you might have noticed the big dark leafy green. Although mature kale is great in many recipes I have found that baby kale is great for salads. Baby kale is much sweeter, tender, and finally making its way into grocery markets across the country. I found a bag of baby kale at Trader Joe's. Baby kale to me, has the mildness of spinach, and a milder version of peppery arugula. It really is a great flavor, nothing like raw, fresh mature kale which can be a bitter and rough unless it is cooked. This baby kale and baby spinach salad is a refreshing and good for you. We have included a video on the benefits of kale below.
