Believe it or not, the first time I eat kale was at my school’s cafeteria. I happen to have the world’s best school cafeteria so I felt adventurous, tried it, and instantly fell in love with this new leafy green. A few days later in my kitchen, I “Eitanized” it by adding in fried bread and allllllllll the grated parmesan cheese. By doing this, it makes this kale salad much more of a comfort food worth craving. If you have never tried kale either, I highly recommend starting with this recipe and you will love it too.
