Lightly Steamed Kale Salad with Walnut & Herb Dressing

Cook: 15

This walnut dressing is nutrient-dense and rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and selenium, supporting heart health and vitamin absorption while remaining wholesome and balanced when paired with kale and apple. Greens contain vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are fat-soluble. Without fat, your body can only absorb a fraction of these vitamins. A small amount of oil or dressing dramatically increases absorption.
