Kale. Don't be over it. I know, it was a trend, but while trends may pass, the deliciousness of this leafy green remains. If you think you don't like kale, but have only had it from the grocery store, come by and take a taste of ours. Tender, flavorful, and fresh tasting. There are so many great things you can make with kale (kale chips, frittata, kale and black beans, etc) but one of the most simple is a salad. And it is so good with everything. I like to make a big one at the beginning of the week and then dole it out as needed, a scoop with breakfast here, a pile at dinner. As it rests in the fridge, the flavors meld making it even tastier. 

Simple Kale Salad
Ingredients

• 1 bunch kale
• oil (olive oil for me! but any type you like for you!)
• Touch of salt
• Optional: sunflower seeds, green pepper, onion, scallion, fresh oregano (my favorite), roasted chickpeas, parmesean. 

1. Rip the kale from the stem and then into smaller pieces. 
2. Pour on the olive oil and sprinkle some salt
3. Massage the leaves with oil until they are tender and then toss in any extra ingredients you want.
4. EAT IT! 

Ingredients

• 3 bunches baby hakurei turnips, baby turnips, or red radishes (about 2 pounds), trimmed, greens reserved
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• Kosher salt

1. Place turnips in a large skillet; add water to cover turnips halfway. Add butter, sugar, and a large pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is syrupy and turnips are tender, about 15 minutes. (if turnips are tender before liquid has reduced, use a slotted spoon to transfer turnips to a plate and reduce liquid until syrupy. Return turnips to pan and stir to coat well.) 
2. Add turnip greens to skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt.

I haven't done this before, but I am always looking for new ways to try turnip greens. Get ready for a world of flavor!

​That is all! Good bread, tender, tasty radishes sliced thin, a sprinkle of salt, and a lipid. Beyond delight.
