We all need more greens in our diet, that’s for sure! Kale is full of many important nutrients, but it is especially good because it contains HUGE amounts of vitamins K, A, and C. Plus, it also has a lot of manganese as well. It really is a nutrient-dense food. Lots of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer nutrients.

It can have a slightly bitter taste, which is why a lot of people don’t like it. But, even if you don’t like it, I recommend trying to eat it if at all possible, just because it is such a powerhouse of nutrition!

The addition of tostones to this recipe makes for a delightful treat! Learn how to make tostones here.

Historically, kale is considered a “goitrogenic” food, so it is advised to only eat it if it’s cooked, especially if you have thyroid problems. However, I know there is some debate of “goitrogenic” foods and I wrote an extensive post about this myth/fact that you can read here.

Wilted Kale with Balsamic Dressing

Kale is a superfood, and this salad is delicious and super healthy!

Ingredients

2 bunches kale (my fave is the Lacinato variety)
Coconut oil for cooking
Freshly made tostones
Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper (omit for strict AIP/Autoimmune)

Instructions

Wash and cut the kale into thin strips.
Add one tablespoon of coconut oil to a large pan and add kale. You can really pack it in there because as it cooks, it shrinks up to hardly anything.
Wilt the kale over low heat for 5-10 minutes or until the leaves are tender.
Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
In a separate dish, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
Once the kale has cooled, top the kale with the dressing and toss to combine.
Add the tostones and serve!
