How to Prepare Kale
When mixed with Jasmine Rice, kale can serve as a light meal or as a hearty side. Unlike lettuce, this leafy green doesn’t get soggy; on the contrary, kale tastes even better if they have time to soak up the delicious zesty flavors from the dressing. In fact, it’s a great choice for meal prep; simply prepare this salad in advance – one less thing to worry about come mealtime!
If you want to reduce prep time, buy a package of prewashed, cut kale. Otherwise, opt for baby kale as you won’t have to massage the leaves – yes, that’s a thing for other kale varieties. In order to get the flavor and texture just right, be sure to cut off the roots and massage the leaves. Whether you enjoy the labor of love a fresh bundle requires or prefer to the convenience of a cut kale bag, your meal will be as savory as it is delicious!
