Bitter to your tastebuds and a surge of nutrition to your body — kale is the superfood that you need to have in your diet. But don’t be so turned off by the taste, amp up the flavor with the right spices. You’ll be hit with a salty-vinegar flavor from the capers, but it will be toned down with a sweet, nutty taste from the raisins and walnuts. 

As for the protein, that’s covered with the anchovies. Yet surprisingly, one cup of kale will give you three grams of protein.

  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
