Kale has a rough texture and slightly bitter taste, which helps balance some of the sweeter ingredients in a salad.

Two soups that really stand out with kale: turkey chili and apple soup.

While lettuce is healthy for you, kale is the most nutritious green leafy vegetable.

Dinosaur kale makes for a great taco shell substitute.

Sprinkle some salt into the water to add a little bit of flavor to the kale.

Let the kale sit for 5 minutes after you remove it from the oven so it gets a chance to cool down.

Once the kale has wilted, sprinkle 0. 5 cups (64 grams) of feta cheese onto the leaves and serve hot. 1 bunch of kale is about 10 leaves, which weighs around 6 ounces.

Finally, pour 0. 66 cups (160 mL) of water, 0. 25 teaspoons (1. 4 grams) of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon (0. 23 grams) of red pepper flakes into the pot and bring the water to a boil. After the water starts boiling, you can turn the stove off. Cover the pot and let the kale sit for 20-25 minutes so that it tenderizes. Once the kale is tender, remove it from the heat.
