Local Farmers Market and Raw Kale Salad recipe

A couple of weeks ago I was  at our local farmers market in Lebanon Ohio.  There is  one vendor whose product I really like.  That Guy's Family Farm  Organic Produce.   Their booth is so inviting, from the friendly smiles to the beautiful bouquets of  flowers and  the  best looking organic produce.

 I had never had Raw Kale before!  When I was growing up the only greens we had was out of can, the smell of that was a turnoff.  But I have reading about the benefits of Kale and saw this gorgeous leafy vegetable and thought I would try it.  I made a Tuscan Raw Kale Salad. I was amazed how much the Raw Kale tasted  like Broccoli.
