Tasty noms!

Mind you, I'm craving crappy chocolate like crazy, being not far from Halloween. But this morning I made use of our enthusiastic kale plants to make a kale salad that _wasn't_ unpleasantly textured.

See, it occurred to me that kale probably gets denatured by lemon juice just like meats do, so I asked google if this was true, and came up with the first recipe on this page: http://www.thepauperedchef.com/article/three-more-interesting-ways-cook-kale.

Adjusted it a bit to account for things we actually had (roasted, salted pepitas instead of pine nuts, and just lemon juice without zest), and other than possibly using too much lemon juice, I think it turned out nicely.

Abby made an awesome kale salad when I visited her a while ago. It gets better as it sits, too, so if you make enough for a few days, great!

Interesting point! I suspect that if I were to make this regularly, I'd have to actually buy kale. They may be enthusiastic plants, but it's moving away from the growing season.

Interesting! I'll have to remember that the next time I have kale on hand.
