Totally scrumptious and packed with nutrition, this salad was my response to friends who asked how they could incorporate kale into their diets without sacrificing taste. It is also wonderful made with collard or mustard greens, prepared in the same fashion as the kale, or with a mix of spinach & arugula or watercress. âElizabeth Warren, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Ingredients:
10 kale leaves, stems removed, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves, thinly sliced |
