    Salads are always great.

    I discovered kale over the winter; it's amazing! Just this morning I was craving some so I had kale salad for breakfast. It's the same recipe as your kale salad above but we add some orange juice and carrots to it too, and maybe some bacon bits. I had kale last night in a vegetarian chili; I love how versatile it is--and how healthy. Thanks for these recipes!

    Just discovered how great Kale can be - we sautee lightly in olive oil and red chili pepper oil in the wok. You have to cook it long enough to get the bitterness out - about 5 minutes.

    I love kale! I was just about to make dinner and thought I'd see if there are any kale recipes online other than my usual. This lens popped up 2nd in my Google search!! It's a keeper! Tonight it's going to be the Sauteed Kale since I already have a chopped salad prepared. I'm serving it with roast pork and a delicious garlic and white bean dish. Yum! Great lens...blessed and Squid Liked.

    I love kale...liking it most now in it's raw form....as a salad. Great with vinegar dressing, blue cheese, raisins, apples, etc. Looking forward to trying the salad you noted above....more savory.

    I'm not the biggest fan, but we've raised our daughter on the stuff and she loves it. For years she ate it every single morning as part of her super-porridge. Good stuff!

    I grow my own kale and am always looking for new recipes. Thanks for a great lens.

    We grew a ton of Kale last summer. Love the ideas. We dried a bunch of it and crumbed it to add to soups and meat balls like parsley.

    I have not had kale but after reading your lens, I definitely want to try it. Green vegetables are so healthy!
  • topmoviedvds Nov 30, 2011 @ 7:04 pm | delete
    I was just told today that THE best way to prepare kale is not to cut it but to pull it by hand in pieces and to mix it most definitely with ham hocks and collards and not to add too much water when cooking because the water comes out of the kale and that even though it looks like a lot, it'll all boil down like spinach. I was also told not to add too much salt if cooking with ham hocks because there's a lot of salt in that. Love kale. It also cooks up nicely with fish sauce.

    I love kale! I like the sound of your recipe for braised kale particularly - will have to try that. :) It also adds a lovely flavour and texture to mashed potatoes if you mix it in. Blessed. :)

    I am following a diet that emphasizes a lot of green leafy vegetables, especially kale. Your recipes look great!

    Yes, I love Kale. I eat anything green. It has lots of fiber and vitamins and I love the healthy clean taste. Yum Yum.

    I *heart* kale!
  • Papier Sep 14, 2011 @ 1:13 pm | delete
    I've eaten it because it's good for me, but haven't really liked it, but I see some recipes that make me "want" to cook it.
  • Michelle77 Jul 31, 2011 @ 10:40 pm | delete
    This weekend was the first time i ever bought Kale at the store! ...I didn't even know what it was...i am going to juice it for my juice fast :) but that corn and kale stew looks amazing !!

    I never really liked the look of kale. But you might be converting me with this lens. Thanks for the great info!
  • Graceonline Jul 4, 2011 @ 12:41 am | delete
    I love kale and experiment with it all the time. We eat it chopped fresh in salads and cooked in stir-fries and soups. It's wonderful cooked with fried potatoes and onions.
  • Bonzlee Jun 26, 2011 @ 5:53 pm | delete
    I recently read that Kale is one of the best antioxidants for health. I had no clue how to prepare it thought. You've given me some great ideas. Thanks!

    Sit down Jeff....I don't think I've ever had kale...but now I can have it in style!

    Very Interesting. This is a good-health lens and I've lensrolled it to my healthy bread recipe lenses in addition to my two newest lenses. It's nice that you're here.
  • vintagemom Feb 28, 2011 @ 11:21 pm | delete
    Thanks for a great lens!! I love kale! I make mine very similar to one of your recipes, so I know how great it can taste when prepared well. All of your recipes sound delicious.
  • superbob17 Feb 7, 2011 @ 3:38 pm | delete
    Great lens. Thanks for posting these recipes on Kale. I think I will try them out.
  • rr_flint Jan 24, 2011 @ 12:41 pm | delete
    20 minutes to mix a kale salad recipe is a lot. Did you really mean 20 minutes?
  • jeffwend Jan 24, 2011 @ 4:45 pm | delete
    Believe it or not I did. It takes this long because the kale is raw. The lemon juice and the salt help to predigest it so that it is easier to eat. For most people, eating a raw kale salad like this would cause some intestinal problems if is not mixed like that.

    I love kale ~ I stopped eating spinach which I loved about 10 years ago when I had a pet Iguana & learned that spinach will kill an Iguana because it can take months to fully digest, this got me curious, so I started researching spinach, & found out it's true for humans as well that spinach can take anywhere from 6 hours to 90 days to fully digest & it can really tear up your digestive tract in the process ~ Since kale was recommended as the most nutritious & easiest to digest greens for Iguanas, I started eating it as well & liked it even more than spinache...you grow up hearing that spinach is so good for you & so full of nutrients, but if your body can't digest it, then all of those nutrients are wasted. Kale has 10 times the nutrients of spinach and digests very quickly so your body gets all of those delicious nutrients ~ Blessed >*

    I definitely have to try this. I love green salad and this looks good.

    I came to kale rather late in life but am making up for lost time! Thanks for the recipes

    My family eats a lot of Kale. Thanks for these recipes as this will help us eat more of it.
  • NanLT Oct 26, 2010 @ 5:55 am | delete
    I like the curly kale or black kale steamed with a bit of butter, sometimes I'll toss it with some crispy bacon before steaming it.
  • Color_Expert Oct 22, 2010 @ 5:40 pm | delete
    Love it and my favorite Kale salad and yours are almost identical. I buy a head of organic Kale almost every week. And to think until about 10 years ago I thought it was just something they grew to decorate salad bars :-)

    Like HSSchulte, I never quite know what to do with kale. You have certainly solved that dilemma. Great looking recipes.

    You know I love kale, but have always had trouble knowing what to do with it. Now, I KNOW! Thanks!!

    Kale is so healthy. Believe it or not I eat it for breakfast almost every morning. But I chop is up really fine so I don't know its there lol

    I have tried to eat kale but can't stand it at all. But I can juice kale all day long and really enjoy it very much. I know it must be a right-left brain thing. Great article. I may try one of your recipes to see if I can eat vs drink my kale.

    Kale is such an under rated achiever. So good for us and so few recipes and info around. Thank you for a very informative lens.

    I do enjoy kale. I like to massage it with olive oil and lemon juice, add minced garlic, and cayenne, very tasty!

    I am used to eating kale raw so it will be interesting to try out some of these cooked recipes.

    I love kale! I don't eat it raw, but i love it cooked or slipped into a smoothie. Although, it does give the smoothie a weird color...
  • Sep 12, 2010 @ 8:04 pm | delete
    I don't like the taste of raw kale, but I'm willing to try some of your recipes. I put it in my smoothies, mixed with blueberries and raspberries. It's yummy and really good for you. :)

    I like malt vinegar on my kale.
  • newbizmau Sep 5, 2010 @ 12:25 pm | delete
    Wow! Such a great lens on Kale. I grew Kale for the first time in our garden last year. I created my own recipe because I wanted to stir-fry kale. I just used olive oil, minced garlic from a jar, and substituted salt with soy sauce and Thai fish sauce. It was so incredibly good.
  • toriphile81 Aug 28, 2010 @ 10:15 pm | delete
    Just made a kale and collard salad this weekend. I massage the greens in olive oil w/ a bit of lemon juice, add fresh basil, minced garlic and cayenne...so good!
  • Cherrybomb2009 Jul 26, 2010 @ 8:04 pm | delete
    Looky at that- a tier 1 lens about a vegetable. Kinda wish there was more of these!

    I just started eating Kale recently, but all I did was steam it and then I put margarine & salt on it. Ate it with some vegan chicken. It was pretty good! But next time, I'll try out one of these recipes you have here... :)

    I love kale. I love all leafy greens. Been eating healthy for four weeks now actually and counting. Kale, lettuce, broccoli, spinach, they are all now part of my diet. Anything to lower my cholesterol level.
  • pyngthyngs Apr 13, 2010 @ 7:21 pm | delete
    I do actually. I have eaten it sauteed with garlic and olive oil like spinach and in soups. I'll have to branch out and try other methods of cooking it.
  • KimGiancaterino Apr 8, 2010 @ 4:33 pm | delete
    We do a lot of braised greens. I just get a mixed bag at Trader Joe's and there's some kale included. It's very tasty. I also like to grow ornamental kale in the garden.

    These kale recipes are truly mouth-watering! I must admit that I've never tried it, even though it is readily available and I'm vegetarian. The corn and kale stew looks particularly appetizing for this snowy weather we're experiencing in my part of the world!
  • CCGAL Nov 12, 2009 @ 10:25 am | delete
    Wow, I didn't realize kale was edible in the raw state, other than in green smoothies (which I have been meaning to try). I'm going to try your recipes - very helpful lens!

    I love Kale. But, I never realized you could eat it raw. All the recipes I have ever seen are for cooked Kale. Thanks for sharing all those delicious sounding recipes! I am wondering now how hard it is to grow.
