When it comes to eating veggies, I’m the type of person that loves adding dark leafy greens into every meal I can. Kale is especially versatile as it complements so many different flavors. Whether I’m making it the base of my salad or adding it to soups, pasta or even breakfast smoothies, fresh kale is a staple ingredient in my household. And once you try recipes like our Kale Salad with Cranberries and Creamy Spinach Pasta with White Beans, you’ll start using kale just as much as I do.
