Kale Ceviche Salad
I recently read a reference to Kale as “angry lettuce.†This cracks me up! I’ve always thought of Kale as lettuce with an attitude but I really like “angry lettuce.†Kale is superior to all other foods on the planet when it comes to its micronutrient content so I’m always looking for delicious ways to incorporate it into my diet. In fact, this has become a favorite of Lance Armstrong or as Lance likes to say, “It’s not about the Kale.†Or is it! Massaging the salad drives the lemon juice and salt into the cell membrane of the Kale and lightly ‘cooks’ it – making it much more tame and “less angryâ€.
