This time of year, the market is full of leafy greens, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out exactly what to do with them.  Take kale for instance.  You’re probably used to it braised or sauteed;  but kale is also delicious raw if prepared the right way. So move over lettuce! We’ve got a recipe for a Tuscan Kale and Red Cabbage salad that’s crunchy, tangy, delicious, and really good for you! Check out the video and follow along with the recipe below!
