I love sautéed Kale in the summer. I love the earthiness of the flavor and the fact it’s so healthy for you. It’s full of calcium, vitamin A, vitamin K and has more iron than beef, not to mention a good source of fiber.

I usually sautée it with balsamic vinegar to give it another note of flavor. When my friend gave me a big bag of organic sweet cherries

from Trader Joe’s that were truly sweet, I decided to add it to the kale and voila wow an even more interesting creation.

Enjoy!
