Here's the signature dish of True Food Kitchen. People who never imagined eating raw kale quickly become devoted. Unlike most salads, this one gets even better in the fridge overnight. Make the extra effort to find Tuscan kale — also sometimes labeled as black kale, Russian kale, cavolo nero, or dinosaur kale — as its deeper color and more complex flavor really lift this into the salad stratosphere. -Andrew Weil
