Preparation Tips:
Lacinato kale, also known as Tuscan kale or Dino kale makes a great salad. The leaves are softer and not quite as tough as curly kale.
Unlike other leafy greens, kale lasts a long time. You can trim the leaves from the stem, cut into small pieces and then store in a Ziploc bag in the fridge. Just be sure to dry leaves thoroughly with a paper towel or clean dish cloth before tossing with dressing.
