I do kale the same way I cook Swiss Chard…chopped up, and sauteed with just a little garlic, olive oil and salt. Awesome!

We have a kale, quinoa, avocado, leek and lemon salad for dinner or potluck periodically. It’s excellent picnic food.

I once saw raw kale used for texture as part of the taco salad filling at a raw restaurant in Minneapolis.

I love this article and I love kale! We do it kinda like we do our collard greens. Boil a pot of water, throw the kale in and let it boil for just a few minutes, then throw it in to a strainer and shake it like a salt shaker…or a strainer…lol! Next, throw some EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) in to a saute pan on medium to medium/high with some chopped garlic (or minced garlic from the jar…Badia sells garlic like this and it’s easier for some folks), throw your srained kale in to the saute pan, season with some garlic salt and pepper, and once it’s cooked down a little bit…boom!! You have some delicous kale as a side dish…almost like collard greens!! Thanks for the great article Amanda. If you have a chance, check out our website, we have some great tips on grocery shopping and cooking on the cheap.

Great post! I’ve always wanted to try kale chips and have no excuse not too now! I rarely purchase it and that needs to change … it’s so good for you and so cheap!

Raw Kale Salad

Chop kale and remove spines. Put in bowl with olive oil and salt. Squeeze for a minute (with clean hands) or so to soften and ‘cook’ the kale. Add balsamic, avocado, tomatoes and green onion.

Kale tastes delicious in potato soup with spicy sausage and bacon, as well. I’ll be giving the other ideas a try – thank you!
