I was talking about kale the other day and all its health benefits.  You'll want to include kale as one of the cruciferous vegetables you eat on a regular basis if you want to receive the fantastic health benefits provided by the cruciferous vegetable family. At a minimum, include cruciferous vegetables as part of your diet 2-3 times per week, and make the serving size at least 1-1/2 cups. You can eat kale fresh or steamed, and if you dress the fresh kale with some olive oil dressing and leave it for about 5-10 minutes if becomes nice and crispy.

Try this; nothing complicated a basic salad but a bit different with the kale.

Kale salad

Serve 4-6

500g kale leaves
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 avocado
2 tbsp mixed seeds

Dressing

2 tbsp olive oil
A pinch of turmeric
A pinch of ginger
½ lemon squeezed

Pour the dressing over the salad and allow resting for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!

Yours in Health & Fitness,
