Hi, my name is Daphne and I am a kale-a-phobe. When everyone got on the kale bandwagon, I was a firm hold out. Not that I didn’t try. I blended it in smoothies, put it in stir fry and sauteed it, but honestly I was always gagging it down. That was until I was pressured into eating the kale salad at Presidio Social Club one night. WOW, it opened my eyes to how yummy kale could be.
It’s a really simple salad, just kale, carrots, radishes and sunflower seeds with a vinaigrette dressing. I always add some chicken to it to make it a meal. I asked the chef what made it so yummy and he told me that they massage the dressing into leaves which makes them less prickly.
If you didn’t know, kale is a nutrition powerhouse, with high concentration and excellent source of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and K — and sulphur-containing phytonutrients. It also boasts lowering cholesterol and reducing the risks of heart disease and cancer.
Check it out, it just might make you a believer.
