One of the tricky things when including more greens in your diet is finding different ways to do so. Serving nutritious greens in delicious ways means you and your family are more likely to be interested in eating them and experiencing their health benefits on a regular basis.
This warm kale salad is a nice variation of some of the more common ways to eat kale, a very cost-effective option during winter and one of the most nutrient-dense greens available. Spiced up with the addition of chilli and garlic is one of my favourite ways to serve it. If you just can’t get your taste buds around kale’s peppery kick you can use spinach instead.
