Wonder vegetable:
Leafy green vegetables are wonder foods. We would all be so much healthier if we ate dark green leafy greens every day. Kale is high in Vitamins K, A and C as well as an excellent source of manganese and dietary fiber. Kale is thought to be protective against certain types of cancer such as lung, colon, bladder, breast and ovarian.
Serving suggestions:
In the summer I slice some beautiful tomatoes and serves this salad on top. I also stuff pita bread with this salad. Delicious!
