Juice4 Tablespoons of Cold Pressed Extra-Virgin Olive Oil 

PreparationCleanse the kale thoroughly in cold water and let dryCut the kale

into fine then strips

Pour the remainder of lemon juice along with the olive oil in a small bowl  with

the melted salt.

Place the kale in a large bowl and mixed together the olive oil, lemon juice and

melted salt. Saturate well making sure all the kale is covered.  Gather your

favorite glass bowl or platter and neatly lay the kale mixture and dress with

the  pineapple chucks.  Enjoy the Delight!

My Inspiration for this recipe came while visiting New Flower Market off

Henderson Ave.  It was my first time seeing such a dark green kale.  Researching

the amazing health benefits I thoroughly washed the kale in cold water, and

grabbed my pineapple and made me a snack while working on my book.  

Later, I gave it an extra kick by adding the lemon juice, olive oil and crystal

salt.  Knowing the health benefits of pineapple so

combining the two became my special treat.  Likewise, for breakfast I sauté

fresh certified organic Lacinato Kale.  Some mornings I switch and use turnip

greens, and or fresh baby spinach in olive oil with a serving of fruit on the

side. It taste so good to me!  

Therefore, every salad I make, I add fresh certified organic Lacinato Kale.

Central Market on Lovers Lane introduced me to certified organic herbs.  The

display of herbs made me happy. I now cook with fresh sage, rosemary, and mint.

 The flavor is sensational and of course the health benefits I welcome.
