Kale Salad and Lemon Dill Dressing

Kale became the superfood in the early 2000's. Every smoothie shop, every juice cafe, and every nutritionist added kale to their menu, why? Because it is amongst the most nutrient-dense foods. It has plenty of anti-oxidants and can help with cholesterol which reduces heart disease.

I make plenty of salads and smoothies adding kale because of this.
