Ease Inflammation with a Kale and Tomato Salad

Kale is a seasonal and delicious summer green veggie. The versatile green goes well in smoothies, and also makes a great base for salads. This kale and tomato salad is fresh, filling and loaded with nutrients such as anti-inflammatory lycopene and quercitin. Plus, the mango and tomatoes provide vitamins A and C, and the olive oil and almonds contribute healthy, anti-inflammatory fats.
