Vegetable Spotlight - Kale

Kale is packed with essential nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium and manganese.  It is fabulous in a variety of dishes, but our family favourite is Christine's Everything Salad that includes a variety of seeds and nuts, cheese, fresh and dried fruit.  Plus a Balsamic Maple Dressing to top it off! 

Maple Balsamic Dressing

• 1 cup corn oil

• ½ cup balsamic vinegar

• 2 tablespoons prepared stone ground mustard

• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (dark)

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Whisk all of the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside. Refrigerate until needed.
