Kale with Toasted Walnuts & Parmesan

This easy, vegetarian kale and walnut dish will nourish your heart and satisfy your belly.

I’m switching it up and sharing a video today for my Kale with Toasted Walnuts and Parmesan recipe. It’s a throwback from the time I was followed around in a stranger’s kitchen while I made this recipe highlighting important steps in home food safety.

From kale chips to kale smoothies and everything in between, kale has become a victim of overexposure. Be that as it may, kale is still one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet. And now is the best time to grab a bunch. Kale tastes best during the cooler months – the leaves are just a little sweeter than any other time of year. Brain-boosting walnuts add a little protein, heart healthy fats and crunch.

This is a nutritious and hearty side dish. Skip the parmesan to make it vegan. Serve up a complete meal by adding whole grain pasta and beans or salmon.
