Depending on what you’re reading kale is either the next super food that will help us all live to 159 or it’s the butt of #stupidfoodie jokes. While I might roll my eyes at Kale Martinis, I’ll never say no to a kale salad. In fact lately I’ve been making a ton of kale salad at home—it’s easy and best of all it lasts several days in the fridge. Recently I tried the Organic Kale Salad ($9) from
Brooklyn Commune and after having it three times within the last two weeks, I can say with certainty that this is a meal you’ll want to eat in the heat . . .
The salad is simple, chopped up kale and radicchio with shaved Manchego and anchovy dressing, Brooklyn Commune has a local and seasonally focused menu and their kale comes from Snug Farm on Staten Island, a farm that visited last summer with Blondie!
Lately I’ve been making my own kale salads with lemon dressing, but after having this salad, I might have to give homemade anchovy dressing a try. How do you like you’re kale salad?

I'm eating a kale salad right now! I like mine with a dressing made from tahini, lemon juice, and agave.
I have been eating/making/loving massaged kale salads for years now- a few of my favorites are the bon appetite recipe with shaved brussel sprouts :

I use half as much oil and sliced almonds
Also this one:

I use whatever miso i have and soy sauce instead of tamari.
