Our Best Ideas for Kale

If the thought of adding more kale to your diet sounds like a chore, think again. Eating kale (and, actually, even growing kale) is pretty simple and satisfying. Learn how to store your leafy greens, and enjoy them in smoothies, pesto and a whole lot more. Antioxidant-rich kale is even better for you when eaten raw. Thin strips are softened in a light lemon dressing, then tossed with the savory-sweet blend of apple, dates, almonds and cheese in this simple salad. A little pecorino goes a long way in giving the dish a satisfying depth of flavor.
