Happy Valentine’s Day!
I fell in love with this recipe again over the weekend! It makes a wonderfully hearty and nutritious main meal, or is a great complimentary side dish to roasted beets and sweet potato alongside a tilapia or monk fish fillet.
Try adding portobello mushrooms, sweet red peppers and some thinly sliced jalepeno to bulk it out even more as a main dish.
A nourishing and yummy warm kale salad for the winter months
Kale: a nutrient-dense wonder vegetable full of chlorophyll, calcium and iron, and blood-nourishing properties. Kale: a vegetable that often paralyzes people in the kitchen by not knowing how to prepare it. To keep you warm, nourished and satisfied this winter season, try this tasty and easy to prepare warm kale salad. Mmmm.
Kale Leek and Apple Salad with Feta
Dr. Angela Warburton, TCM
1 leek – sliced thinly
1 small bunch kale – cut into medium sized pieces
1 large apple (peeled if desired, cut into 1-inch cubes)
Feta (crumbled into chunks)
In a skillet heat a small amount of olive oil and sauté the leek (add a small amount of broth or water to keep it moist if needed). When leeks are slightly softened, add the kale and cook slightly, then add the apple. Cover and let simmer on med-low temperature until apple is soft. Right before serving, add the feta and toss allowing it to slightly melt and soften.
Enjoy the wonders of kale! Bon apetit.
