Sauteed Kale with Balsamic Vinegar

One of my favorite side dishes is garlic collard greens with bacon and vinegar. It’s a play on the collard greens that my grandmother makes and I tried a similar strategy with this kale recipe.  And it turned out to be absolutely delicious. It’s such a savory, rich flavor that pairs well with nearly any protein.

A great benefit to eating kale is that kale is a superfood.  It’s also a cruciferous vegetable—a food group that is widely recognized for helping to reduce the risk of cancer. It’s also rich in a wide variety of vitamins and nutrients, it’s anti-inflammatory and it contains anti-oxidant properties. All around, eating kale is a win.

I love kale—raw, juiced, sautéed, in my breakfast shake…I’ll eat it a variety of ways. This particular recipe is great for anyone that just can’t seem to appreciate the taste of kale in its raw form. Sauté it and cook it down and let the natural flavors and aromas lure you into loving this superfood side dish.

Also, please make sure that you get a good quality balsamic vinegar. It really makes a difference in the flavor and can take the taste to another level.
