Simple Kale Salad

October 6th, 2013

Day 4 of my cleanse led to a craving for kale and/or brussel sprouts.  My oven was already enlisted seasoning cast iron so kale salad it was!  I love kale — seems like everyone does now, right?  Except I thought I only liked Italian kale also known as lacinato kale, dinosaur kale, Tuscan kale and palm tree kale until I had the kale salad at Carson House this past week.  It was the curly kale with pomegranate seeds and very light lemon dressing.  It was be far the best item we ate.

I couldn’t understand how this raw kale was soft and chewy but assumed it had been marinated and the recipes I researched suggesting marinating or massaging the kale.
