By the way, Kale is super healthy -- check it out!
I loved the Pine Nut Kale Salad so much that my mouth was watering for it until I made it again at home the next day!
Pine Nut and Kale Salad
a bunch of kale (stems removed)
extra virgin olive oil
lemon juice
~1 c pine nuts
salt (optional)
Combine everything, and let sit as long as you can stand, and enjoy! NO COOKING!
When I made it at home, I couldn't resist having a hefty serving right away. However, I did save a tiny bit for later, and leftovers the next day tasted even better!
The greens and nuts beautifully soak up all that delicious Italian flavor!
In other Kale News, Kale Chips from Trader Joe's are super! (other yummy TJ's items!)
Note the AWESOME ingredients list!, and high fiber and protein content!
I almost never pay any attention to calories, instead making healthy choices, so calories aren't important. However, I thought I'd provide a quick word of caution that they are a bit steep in calories and fat.
The fat is GOOD fat, and the calories are GOOD calories, but if you're "watching" you might try making kale chips at home, so they can even be super low-calorie! I haven't perfected the kale chip making process, but it's pretty easy if your up for it!
Don't worry too much -- the fiber and protein will probably make you full before you eat too many!
COMMENTS: How do you like your kale? Any fun recipes for healthy greens?
