Here's a good recipe for a Kale salad with a twist, with some interesting facts to go along with it:

• Kale can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if you cook it by steaming. Raw kale still has cholesterol-lowering ability—just not as much.
• Kale's risk-lowering benefits for cancer have reportedly recently been extended to at least five different types of cancer. These types include cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate.
• Researchers can now identify more than 45 different flavonoids in kale. With kaempferol and quercetin heading the list, kale's flavonoids reportedly combine both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits in way that gives kale a leading dietary role with respect to avoidance of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
