Kale and zucchini grilled salad
A delicious and vitamin-rich seasonal salad. For those of you who are not familiar with kale, it is a cabbage variety, rich in vitamins, minerals, omega-3, and antioxidants. Kale belongs to the cruciferous vegetable category, such as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower, which are a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, fiber, and folic acid. It is recommended to consume these vegetables at least 3 times a week.
Before making the salad, it's important to tear the kale leaves from the stems, place them in a bowl, and rub them with a bit of salt, oil, and lemon juice. This way, the leaves will soften and be easier to eat and digest.
