I have yet to do anything super great with kale. Its a leafy green and said to be a "super green" that is ultra healthy for you. However, eating it raw kind of tastes....earthy to me. Not a huge fan. Eventually I will try to make protein shakes using it and spinach and fruit but I have not yet ventured that way. Instead I made this chopped kale -broccoli - tomato - onion - cucumber and green pepper salad. I have some Chipotle Lime dressing I got from Aldi that seems to pair decently with it. What do you make with kale if anything? Please share!

I do not like the taste of it, but will eat it. I usually just throw it in salads.

True. Lots of dressing has been my remedy as well. Lol. Have you ever made it in a shake? Hows your day going so far?

It's hard to find in Japan but I found some on sale the other day. I cooked it with olive oil, pepper, and salt. The salt, I think, is the way to get rid of bitterness in deep green leafy vegetables. It was good.

Nice. That sounds good. Was it raw or did you cook it?

Kale chips aren't bad, but neither are they that good! Lol, kale is no a favorite..but I think a kale slaw might not be too bad..and one thing I did like was a turkey sausage and kale soup at Panera.

When I used to get it in my organic produce boxes, I would usually make creamed kale with it the same way I'd make creamed spinach. I've also had a great chopped salad with kale in it. It was chopped up pretty finely.

I definitely will one day try a Kale salad. I blend kale and mix it with lime and sweeteners it has a soothing taste to me.

Kale is a veg that I just don't like the taste of. I find the best way to deal with it, is to put plenty of salt and vinegar on it, and then throw it in the bin.
