Colorado Proud's Kale Slaw

Kale is one of the most nutrient dense foods we can eat. Loaded with beneficial compounds, antioxidants, vitamin C, and a good source of calcium and potassium.

Colorado Department of Agriculture has chosen locally grown kale as it's Colorado Proud produce for June.

"The June Colorado Proud recipe features greens in general as the farmers markets open up for the season. This is one of the first items you'll see whether it's lettuce or kale or arugula. We're also seeing a lot of microgreens producers in Colorado. And the Colorado Kale Slaw recipe will feature Kale and it's really a great mix of flavors with the kale, red bell pepper, orange holland pepper as well as sun dried tomatoes, blue cheese dressing. A real nice mix of flavors that you can enjoy as we get into the summer months."

Marketing Specialist, Wendy White For folks who have tried to like kale but still don't.

"You could switch out Kale with a variety of things."
