Vitamins A and C, Calcium, Iron, antioxidants they all come in high percentages in kale, while pairing these green superstars with healthy fats like avocado, olive oil or nuts makes its fat-soluble carotenoids easier to process by our bodies.

This Christmas salad has it all the acid from the orange juice releases the iron and softens the kale leaves, and all the nutrients are highlighted by the rich parmesan nuts flavour.
