My family and I love having company, especially during the summer months. While entertaining can be fun, preparing the food can be exhausting. Thankfully, our friends and family are always willing to chip in and bring something yummy to eat. As often as we entertain, it can be hard to stay healthy. Recently, my friend decided to bring over a kale salad. I appreciate the fact that she and her family make it a priority to eat healthy. This kale salad is fantastic and we haven’t stopped talking about it! The great taste and multiple health benefits truly make it one of those keepers for your recipe index!
I like to use superfoods, such as kale, as much as possible in recipes. Kale is great for cardiovascular support. It is an anti-inflammatory food filled with omega-3 fatty acids that help fight against cancers and autoimmune diseases. Kale is also known to be high in iron, fiber, vitamin K, A and C and calcium. It’s great for detoxifying your body and keeping your liver healthy. With all of these nutritional benefits, you might think it won’t be appetizing; but I guarantee this salad does NOT taste like paper towels and your family will love it!
