Good Greens

"There are two types of people; 

those who eat kale and those who should." 

~~ Bo Muller-Moore 

(From a kale blog)

To be perfectly honest, I'm not really that into eating greens. But I know they are good for me. So I always have to be looking for ways to trick myself into eating them. Otherwise I would probably just live on fruit and nuts.

Kale is popular now. This is one of the best greens you can eat. Dinosaur kale, the kind that looks like reptile skin, has superfood status. You can chop it up, put it in the fridge overnight, and by the next day this fresh raw food has changed its chemistry in response to the chopping and is now even more supercharged with vitamins.

Here is a recipe for a big kale salad that keeps for days in the fridge, getting more delicious every day: 

                             Treasure Box Salad

    Dice: red onion, green onions, red bell pepper, celery, parsley.

    Roll a stack of kale leaves tightly, and slice into thin ribbons, then chop.

    Add chopped walnuts, olives, dried&soaked or fresh cranberries, whole cherry tomatoes

    Season with salt and pepper, tamari, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice.

    Toss, and pack it tightly into a jar in the fridge for later, or enjoy right away!
