Help me like kale or chard

Juice it with apples, cucumber, celery, and lemon.

My mom soaks kale in olive oil and italian seasoning. its SALTY AS shite

The wife and I have tried to like it and failed to. The only passable way is juicing as others have suggested. I guess if you cook it down in tons of salt and pork fat it might come out ok, but that kind of defeats the purpose of eating Kale.

I just discovered Kale and can't get enough of it. I use Bobby Flay's recipe to cook it.

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft, but not colored. Raise heat to high, add 1/2 cup of stock and kale and toss to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove cover and continue to cook, stirring until all the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar.

You can also add it to veggie soups.

This is how I cook mine for the most part. I like to use bacon grease as my oil.

Since you grow your own it should be fresh which means you don't have to saute it as long. From what I read if you buy it in the store it can often be old and more bitter.
