# Dinner Tonight: Kale Salad

**By Paula Gallagher** · 2012-07-25

I belong to an organic produce delivery program, which means that every Tuesday I receive a beautiful assortment of organic fruits and vegetables. It's convenient and a great way to ensure that we are trying new things and getting a variety of goodness in our diets. This week my bin included kale, avocados and carrots, so I made [this recipe](http://www.alive.com/recipes/view/825/asian_kale_shrimp_and_avocado_salad). It was simple to make and so tasty that it will definitely be part of our meal rotations. I used maple syrup instead of honey (I had just brought some back from a trip to [St. Joseph Island](http://www.sjichamber.ca/), famed up north for their maple syrup) and I used leftover grilled salmon from the night before. I also added radishes and spring onions, which were in my organic bin. Kale is such a nutrient dense food, and I was excited about using it the way I would use a typical salad green like romaine or spinach. It is pumped with iron, B vitamins and calcium. Combined with all the other foods, this meal is packed with vitamins, minerals, and other super nutrients like omega-3!
