Kale · uncommon
Red Russian
Flat, frilly, grey-green leaves with purple veins and stems that look like something from a botanical illustration. More tender than curly kale, brilliant raw in salads, and gets sweeter with each frost.

Kale and apple slaw
Shred the tender leaves finely, toss with grated apple, toasted hazelnuts, and a dressing of cider vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Massage the kale for a minute — it sounds silly but it works.
