Recipes & Nutrition Analysis for Kale

Brussels Sprouts Fennel Carrot Salad

A fancy twist of coleslaw with vanilla infused vinaigrette, created by Chef John Fisher with Renton Technical College Culinary Art. The salad goes well with grilled chicken or salmon, and you can make a wrap sandwich that would surely be a hit as a grab-and-go item. Brussels Sprouts can be substituted with a mix of green cabbage and kale.

*1 cup serving provides 1/2 cup vegetable (1/8 cup red/orange vegetable)

Pozole con Pescado

Alliance for a Healthier Generation's 2012 Rachael Ray's Yum-o! Healthy School Meal Contest Winning Recipe

Pozole, a soup made with hominy, is a favorite dish for Oakland Unified SD's Mexican students. While pozole is traditionally made with pork or chicken, this soup would be a great vehicle to serve fish that isn't fried and breaded. Option: Substitute the traditional topping of cabbage with kale, a dark and nutritious green. The dish has a slight kick to it but it is not too hot.

Rainbow Salad with Lemon-Honey Dressing

This colorful salad is a Monroe Public School students' favorite - you can swap vegetables based on the seasonality and availability. The lemon honey dressing is simple and versatile, and can be made in batches.

Robot Coupe with julienne attachment would save a lot of time/labor depending on how many you serve, as well as choosing processed products (shredded cabbages, match-stick carrots etc.)
