Chef Gwen's Christmas Kale Chopped Salad

We're growing four varieties of kale here at The Simple Farm - and all ready to be harvested.  I think most people avoid kale because they don't know quite what to do with it and because they really don't know how amazing it is?

Kale, a winter crop, is rich in calcium, iron, lutein, Vitamin A,C, and K and it's a great source of antioxidants along with being excellent fiber (that we all need more of!).

One source I read said that kale has naturally occurring phytochemicals that may protect against cancer.

With all these benefits of kale, it's a MUST for the table. I have a recipe here for Tuscan kale salad and Chef Gwen has this incredibly looking Christmas Kale Chopped Salad that I am definitely going to make!

The question is: have you had your kale today?  We are growing four kinds of kale here at The Simple Farm.
