Dinner Last Night: Kale Pizza


My sister posted this recipe for kale pizza on her blog a while back, and I've been wanting to try it ever since. I admit, I was initially a little wary of kale at first. I'm not a huge fan of uncooked kale, I found it tasted a little grassy. But my family continued to rave about its health benefits, packed with vitamins and antioxidants, yadda yadda yadda...

Ultimately, I realized it was just too beneficial to pass up. I could always hide it in soup, right? I continued to use kale in this way for a while until I tried my hand at kale chips. With lemon aioli, these were awesome!!

Long story short, now I'm an advocate for kale. If you were like me and a little skeptical, try kale chips and this pizza and I bet you'll be a convert.

  1. I don't mind the taste of raw kale, but I love love love it when it's made into baked kale chips. I haven't even tried any other recipes because every time I have kale, I simply have to make kale chips! They're way too addictive.

  3. YUM! My mom makes kale chips and I can't get enough of them! I really should remember to make some because they're so very healthy but they feel like eating junk food! Haha!

    I'm definitely going to try that kale pizza, and soon!
