SUPERFOOD // KALE:

Not only does our hearty friend kale stand up well to the creamy dressing (this salad will store well in the fridge for a couple of days even when dressed), but it enhances the nutritional benefits of this recipe.

Kale is part of the cruciferous vegetable family, which also includes veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussels sprouts.  The cruciferous vegetables are rich in a phytochemical called glucosinolate.  Glucosinolates are studied for their neuroprotective properties.  They activate a specific neuron pathway in the brain that supports antioxidant activity.  This then protects the brain from neurodegeneration.
