Use kale in place of spinach or chard. Sauté quickly in olive oil with garlic for a healthy green side dish or add to your favorite pasta recipe to add more greens to your life. 

Add kale to your Caesar salad massaging the dressing first in the kale and let sit for 30 minutes, then toss in romaine just before serving.
