MEDITERRANEAN KALE WITH FETA



Mediterranean Kale With Feta image

Adopted from the Clean Eating Magazine fall 2008, courtesy of ALSKANN in the Cookbook Swap (fall 2008) I love feta and kale. Never thought to put together. This looks scrumptious. The article aslo states that greens are interchangeable. I may try this with swiss chard as I have it in the garden.

KALE AND FETA SALAD



Kale and Feta Salad image

I've been making variations of this salad for years. I recently learned how to massage the kale and it makes a huge difference. I had a friend ask for my recipe and I realized I don't have one. This is my first attempt at writing a recipe, so please let me know how it works out! I like to change up the ingredients: sometimes a pear instead of an apple, cranberries instead of currants, Parmesan instead of feta, etc. Great as a side dish or by itself the next day for lunch!

Tips:

  • Prep the Kale Properly: Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves and wash them thoroughly to ensure they are clean and ready for cooking.
  • Massage the Kale: After washing, massage the kale leaves with a little olive oil and salt. This helps to break down the fibers and make the kale more tender and flavorful.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh, flavorful ingredients for the best results. Look for bright green kale, ripe tomatoes, and tangy feta cheese.
  • Don't Overcook the Kale: Kale is a hearty green that doesn't need to be cooked for long. Overcooking can make it tough and bitter.
  • Serve Immediately: Mediterranean kale with feta is best served immediately after cooking, while the kale is still warm and tender.

Conclusion:

Mediterranean kale with feta is a delicious, nutritious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its vibrant flavors and textures, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try!
