I love the nutrition of kale so I am determined to enjoy it.

I think I've actually seen some recipes out there for raw kale, and I know I've nibbled some of my own and liked it. But, I have been eating greens almost every day through winter, and I think my tastebuds have really adjusted to the so-called bitterness. I love them all now! Great recipe.blessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-10809622990457891332010-04-08T16:26:20.171-04:002010-04-08T16:26:20.171-04:00Janet,

It did turn out really good though, so we were both happy.<br /><br />Have fun at your seminars. I hope you find a healthy friend near you. But you always have your "bloggy friends" as Rose puts it.<br /><br />Emma,<br /><br />Wow, good for you! I really wish I liked the taste of it raw but I don't normally. However, this method worked for me. Even Dan said he would gladly eat raw kale salad once of week if I used citrus to soften the texture and flavor. Yay! I love it when he willingly eats healthy food. ;-)<br /><br />Heather,<br /><br />I used Gala apple, I will make that note on the recipe. We use Red Delicious in our juice (because they have the highest level of antioxidants) but Dan prefers the texture of Gala or Fuji to eat. Thanks again for the apple suggestion. We liked the sweetness and crunch with the citrus flavored kale. If you try it please let me know what you guys think. We were very pleasantly surprised.<br /><br />When Walid's wife called I had to laugh. She said she had not specifically told him about the party, but the invitation had been on the frig for a month so she was surprised he didn't know. Sort of like our conversation, right? They are all the same, no matter what country they come from, or what age. ;-) Good thing we love them.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-79826415459419865052010-04-08T08:57:44.230-04:002010-04-08T08:57:44.230-04:00Hey lovely lady!!!

I definitely need to add kale to the grocery list this week. What apples did you use by the way. I typically only ever have Granny Smiths and they may be too tart. Thoughts?<br /><br />Love the comment about your friend not checking with "the boss". My husband says that all the time: Gotta check with the boss.
