\u201cI want to be seen green<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wouldn’t be caught dead, red<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Cause if you are seen green<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It means you got mean bread.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So goes a line from a song from one of my favorite movies, The Wiz<\/em>. I feel like I\u2019m seeing green. Most mornings can find me starting the day with a green drink.<\/p>\n

While kale<\/strong> is now all the rage, I\u2019ve always loved it. As a child I loved it cook southern style, preferring it over collards. In my teens and early twenties I liked it saut\u00e9ed with onion in olive oil. Then about 13 years ago I discovered raw kale salad and that was a wrap! I eat some type of salad every day for lunch and kale is in heavy rotation.<\/p>\n
