Summer *Kale* Recipe

This summer I have been hooked on kale salads. Kale is a nutrient-dense super food containing a high potency of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, copper, potassium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. This leafy green has been linked to many anti-cancer health benefits and is rich in antioxidants. 




I recently came across this recipe for Summer Kale Salad. I guarantee you will not be disappointed you tried it!

Ingredients:
4 Cups fresh kale leaves, shredded
1/2 honeydew melon, diced
1/2 Cup sliced almonds (optional)
1 Cup blueberries
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbspn honey
2 tbspn olive oil
Sea salt & cracked black pepper to taste

1. In large bowl drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over kale and massage (yes, massage your kale) with your hands for 5 minutes.
2. Add melon, blueberries and almonds to the bowl.
3. In another small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over kale. Toss to combine. Let stand in the fridge for at least 15 minutes prior to serving.
