Recipe: Healthy Peaches and Greens

posted in: Recipes, Uncategorized 2

I had a dinner party last night and served a warm kale and peach salad. My guests raved about it! The dish is super healthy as kale is very nutrient rich and the canned peaches actually contain 3.5 times higher vitamin C levels and 1.5 times the antioxidants of fresh peaches. I like to add canned peaches  to dishes all year long as they’re an affordable option and always taste delicious! I’ll add them to desserts, entrees or salads. Try more peach recipes here.

The recipe is from The California Cling Peaches Board. If you enjoy healthy dishes that taste deliciously flavorful, give the recipe a try:

Healthy Peaches and Greens

1 bunch of kale

2 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

Pinch of hot chili flakes

1/2 cup sodium reduced chicken broth (or veggie broth)

1 can California Cling peaches in fruit juice or light syrup, well drained

1 tsp red wine vinegar (I used balsamic which was delicious)

2 tbsp patted dry slivered sundried tomatoes

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Cut off and discard tough stems. Stack kale leaves and thickly slice (about 8 cups packed). Heat oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and chili flakes. Stir about 30 seconds. Add half the greens by large handfuls, stirring just until they turn bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth then remaining greens. Stir. Cover, reduce heat to low and stirring occasionally, cook until greens are tender, about 5 minutes. If they stick add a couple of tablespoons more broth or water. Add drained peaches, vinegar, sundried tomatoes and salt. Stir uncovered until hot. Turn into serving bowl and sprinkle with feta.

Serves 6 to 8.
