Last winter, my mom and I had a wonderful date night. We decided on the spur of the moment to grab a delicious lunch, watch a movie, and have a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

It was one of those perfect moments. Everything just fell into place. Although the movie has long since faded from memory, I’ll never forget having eaten.<\/p>\n

It was the first time I had ever tasted kale.<\/p>\n

It was crisp, sweet, and yet salty, full of flavor.<\/p>\n

Compared to raw kale’s coarse and chewy texture, I was surprised at how delicate the texture was.<\/p>\n

I’ve been dreaming about this salad ever since, and now that it’s beet and kale season again, I knew it was time to make my version.<\/p>\n

I added toasted walnuts, cheese, and a honey vinaigrette, and the recipe was born.<\/p>\n

The first time I made it, I felt like it could use a little more structure since the kale chips take up a lot of space on the plate without being too dense.<\/p>\n

So the next time I added some raw, finely chopped kale. It was the perfect complement.<\/p>\n

I’ve made it three days in a row and will probably make it again today.<\/p>\n

As a bonus, I want to share that kale is a very healthy and seasonal vegetable right now.<\/p>\n

It’s a great source of calcium, vitamins (especially K and C), and beta-carotene. It also contains iron.<\/p>\n

It’s relatively high in fiber (6.2 grams per 100 grams), which is important for maintaining healthy digestion and preventing diseases like colon cancer.<\/p>\n

It also contains 45 different flavonoids with various antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.<\/p>\n

How cool is that?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
