Growing up I wasn’t ever introduced to eating kale. I saw it on my plate from time to time at restaurants but thought it was for presentation purposes only. I would even go as far as to say that my parent told me not to eat it because of that reason. Through our journey to eating cleaner and more nutrient-dense foods, kale just seemed to keep popping up. So I gave it a try and well it didn’t go very well. No one liked it including me, I continued eating it mostly for the health benefits and slowly my body adjusted. I was able to get more creative with it and eventually came up with this easy cheesy kale salad combo.
