Kale is an amazing vegetable! It is full of flavonoids, yep that's a real word, giving it anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties! It has been linked to lowering the risk of a half-dozen cancers as well as being known as a great aid to the bodies detoxification system.
This is a very simple and amazing salad full of flavor!
Ingredients
2 bunches chopped kale
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 cup organic feta cheese
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Dressing:
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
Put chopped vegetables in a heat safe bowl. Put dressing ingredients in a small pot heat until honey melts and stir. Pour hot dressing over salad, toss and let stand for 20 minutes. (You may need to make more dressing depending on how much kale you have, just be sure the majority has been covered lightly). Add feta and almonds, season with pepper and put in fridge uncovered for an hour. You want the kale to wilt. Serve.
This keeps well in a glass tupperware container for a few days.
