Kale for National Nutrition Month
With National Nutrition Month upon us, why not branch out and try a new veggie you may have heard about recently – kale? The funny-looking, trendy green has been around a while, but has had a resurgence in popularity recently and for good reason! Just one cup of kale boasts a whopping 5 grams of fiber, 15% of your daily calcium recommended intake, 180% of vitamin A, and 200% of vitamin C!
Kale is also super versatile as you can add it to smoothies and even bake it with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt for yummy kale chips. And this Kale Salad with Fruity Vinaigrette from my trim&TERRIFIC Eating Well to Fight Arthritis cookbook is a must try, using the super green as a base topped with chopped fruit and pecans. You will love the Fruity Vinaigrette for it’s perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and diabetic-friendly – this salad will appeal to your taste buds as it does to your health!
