50 Out-of-This-World Kale Recipes

It’s been so long since I’ve posted a recipe roundup that I’ve been having link withdrawals. Because my cookbook Let Them Eat Kale! was published last week, I figuredย it would be appropriate toย show you some of the most mouth-watering kale recipes from around the interweb. ย From salads, breakfast, entrees, to soups, smoothies, and sauces, you can find all sorts of leafy recipes here. There are SOย many kale recipes out there that it can be almost overwhelming. Just type, “kale” into Pinterest and prepare for an epic mind blow. Because I’m constantly on the look-out for tasty kale recipes, I decided to share some of my favorites. These aren’t your average kale recipes. They’re otherwordly!

For all of your kale needs, here are over 50 Out-of-This-World Kale Recipes
