We all know that we should eat more vegetables, but what should you eat? Kale is a great vegetable to add to your diet with lots of nutritional value.  It's packed with fiber, vitamins A, B, C, and K, omega-3 fatty acids, Lutein and zeaxanthin.  But, how do you cook it and have it taste good?  Try this recipe to add kale as a staple to your diet:
Sauteed  Kale with Apricot and Almonds
Ingredients:
1 Head of dark green kale
1/3 cup of dried apricots, diced 
1/4 slivered almonds (unsalted)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Wash kale thoroughly, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel; allow kale to stay lightly damp. Chop kale into thin strips.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, apricots and almonds to the oil and saute for about 2 minutes.  
Add the chopped kale and stir to coat the kale with the olive oil mixture.  Cover and let cook until the leaves are a vibrant green, about 4 minutes.
Serve with your meal's protein, such as baked chicken.
