My mother and father in law used to live off Settawig Road in Brasstown. Used to bring our kids for a visit every summer. Beautiful small town. Father in law used to be the ER physician at Murphy Medical. I miss that sweet town.

Kale is so versatile. Didn't grow up eating it, but I like it now.

[@kryssygee4814]

Yummy!!! Love the chat after the cooking!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@cindyauton4859]

Like your new apron Tipper. Never saw you wear any other than the denim looking one. ❤ Y'all

[@TheLisaGreenlee]

This is a wonderful video and thank you! That salad looks amazing! I like to make a simple Italian peasant stew called Ribollita. You start by sauteing a chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Add the sauteed vegetables to chicken broth or stock. Toss in some canned peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped with a small wedge of parmesan cheese. Add a can of strained cannellini beans, chopped kale, salt & pepper to taste. I also sprinkle some red pepper flakes. At the end...toss in some torn day-old crusty bread, a little shredded parm and a drizzle of olive oil over top. It's so comforting, especially on a cold day. I love your vinaigrette. It's a real classic. Here's a few of our favorite vinaigrettes. I always follow the 3 to 1 ratio. 3 part oil to 1 part acid. 1. evoo + balsamic + roasted garlic (this one goes with anything really) 2. evoo + lemon juice + dijon + minced shallot (I love this one with chopped kale, dried cranberry, shredded carrot, and fine sliced apple) 3. walnut oil + champagne vinegar + fresh thyme (I put this on butter lettuce with some blue cheese and toasted walnuts) 4. avocado oil + lime juice + cilantro (amazing over grilled or pan seared fish) 5. sesame oil + rice vinegar + orange juice (I like this one with fennel salad. Fine slice fennel, orange segments, dried cranberry and fennel fronds) Delish! Enjoy! Blessings and continues prayer for Ms Cindy and all y'all. Sending light & love from Ohio My best, Lisa

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Lisa! Your recipes always sound so good 😀

[@jennifert2953]

This sounds wonderful!

[@popmarbles6980]

I am from Arkansas, and mom made wilted lettuce frying it in bacon grease - adding chopped bacon strips, 1/4 cup vinegar, maybe S&P. That ladden vapor smell will make you hunger. I think I will use kale. What you think?

[@kathylane5934]

Thanks

[@heidimobley4897]

Wilted kale sounds good to me! 😊

[@pamfullerton5334]

Tipper, you and your co author are going to have to do a volume two of your cook book. God bless and prayers for Miss Cindy.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Pam!!

[@debbieyzuel7887]

I have made kale sausage and potato soup for years, my family loves it.

[@Roadtaken-fi1cd]

I make a Kale salad almost identical to this but add shredded carrots and grilled chicken. It’s a complete meal and I personally think it’s better the second day. Blessings, prayers and hugs to you all, especially Miss Cindy.

[@rld1278]

I grew up eating canned kale, collards, turnip greens, and spinach. I'm revisiting my love of greens now.

[@dothatch5147]

I have never eat greens from a can I am not finicky my father in law every year grew all our greens but I wonder how they taste or if they have been seasoned in the can.

[@rld1278]

I eat the unseasoned ones and season them myself. My fav is to put 2 cans of collards and a smoked turkey wing or drum, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and Tony's seasoning bring to a boil then simmer for a couple hours until the turkey falls apart. It's divine!

[@mce6328]

never had nor heard of kale salad i’ll have to try that, baked ziti yummy!!!! hi miss cindy praying for u!!!! just wanted to say thank you to anyone who prayed for my hip replacement surgery all went well pain is tolerable power of our God power of prayer!!!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you and wonderful news about your surgery!!

[@RobertSmith-vr9bs]

I loved watching you cut up the kale .. .made me smile seeing your cabinet.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀

[@katiepace526]

I love the way you left the ending in. This recipe sounds so good. Thank you!

[@frankscarborough1428]

Looks so delicious thanks now I'm hungry. Praying for all of you

[@marthakemp127]

The salad is beautiful! I really like kale salad and sausage/kale soup! Praying for Miss Cindy.

[@Melinda_Sue]

My mental mouth is watering. I think that's because I am full so I can only salivate mentally 😆 I never knew how satisfying it was to watch someone make a salad! Lemon, parm, tender kale, etc. Mmm. If the kale wasn't all that tender, one could saute it for a very short bit as well.

[@thegoodhousewife7886]

Loved the kale salad recipe, think I'll try making it. Was so very surprised to hear Corey call the house a dump at the very end. Hope she's kidding. Love your videos and family. Continue to pray for Miss Cindy.

[@joeyhardin1288]

Poor Corey, HAS to taste the salad! This looks great, we have a bunch ready now. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe. EDIT: My wife is a school lunch lady and they have shoulder gloves to stop those burns. Blessings

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Joey 😀

[@wandagordon6453]

That looks delicious. My mom had beautiful hand writing. Not that it’s ever been great, but mine is getting worse. Hugs and kisses for Miss Cindy 🥰. God bless y’all. 😀❤️

[@patriciadominguez6343]

Another option for your kale salad could be to exchange the almonds for walnuts and add crumbed crispy bacon. Keep all the other ingredients. Yum

[@LDHBees]

yum...maybe add a bit of blue cheese!

[@HolmansHomestead]

The salad looks delicious,and so good for ya.Hope you have a blessed night.

[@Jojo-gg6jc]

My niece just made a delicious kale salad with strawberries, and onions, fresh mozzarella cheese, walnuts, there was more but I don't remember, but it was so delicious. The dressing was something she made fresh. 😋

[@jennjohnson-richards5829]

This looks wonderful! My youngest is Cale. When he was just a few months old, I was watching cooking w my 3 yr old. When they said now lets boil the kale, poor Colton burst into tears. Mom! I DON'T WANT THEM TO BOIL CALE!!! It was hard not to laugh.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Oh goodness that is cute!

[@rhondamcilwrath4707]

Tipper looks delicious !! I love kale salads too! When I make dressing I always use a mason jar so it’s easy to put a lid on, shake and save any leftover in the jar! Thanks for another great recipe! Prayers for Miss Cindy🙏😘 too.

[@yazarc4598]

I buy kale rather often. One of the grocery stores where I shop here in Wyoming had a sweet lady always working the checkouts and I often went through her line. One day while she was ringing up my kale, she said to me "boy, you really like to garnish things"! I had to explain to her that I ate it. She had never seen it other than on a plate with a piece of orange on it as a garnish at Village Inn or IHOP or something. Cracked me up. I think I’m going to have to take his salad for a spin. Looks great!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀

[@elizabethpiveronus3359]

I'm praying for Miss Cindy 🙏🙏❤️

[@user-tf4zh5dy6t]

The kale salad looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.

[@patmoritz5213]

I love Kale for breakfast, topped with two over easy eggs and spices.

[@tinacruz7517]

God bless you and your family. I really missed your Sunday videos but I completely understand and your all in my prayers.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much!

[@amyniemann9564]

I will definitely be making this salad! Looks yummy. I love watching y’all in the kitchen, family time. One time when my husband and I had dinner in Phoenix AZ, I ordered a kale salad that was the best I ever had. I asked if I may speak with the chef and he actually came out and told me his secret was to blanch the kale for one minute, then cool it. I don’t remember if he then sautéed it or if it was a salad but it was so good. Thank you ladies 💕

[@sandrarios1065]

God bless you and your family ❤ you are truly a blessing 😊

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much!!

[@relax2dream164]

I enjoyed kale before it became known as a superfood. This salad looks so yummy!❤️🇨🇦

[@terrymarshall8746]

Kale has always been my favorite since I discovered it. I too did not grow up on it. Love your channel!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Terry 😀

[@alex31p]

Grow kale pretty much year-round on the Gulf Coast. Does well in the garden all winter long. Will definitely try this new recipe, so easy.

[@donaldwells2102]

Kale is a super food 😋, and I love it.

[@StrawberryBanana86]

Yummy! Add grilled chicken at supper time and done. I do one like this but with butter lettuce,spinach,grilled chicken(leftover),cheese,wonton strips or chow mein crunchy noodle strips, whatever dressing you like.

[@Sewmena918]

Great recipe. I didn’t grow up eating Kale either. I worked at Wendy’s in high school and we used it to decorate the salad bar. I didn’t even know you could eat it back then. I do now, though.😀

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀

[@sarahnatalia7514]

Delicious! Thank for sharing this incredibly tasty and fresh recipe

[@brendadonald2052]

Thank you for sharing this video with us. The salad looks good.

[@laurenparnass8343]

We really like kale salad. I substitute almonds or walnuts with either pumpkin seeds or pine nuts. I also make kale slaw a lot, it is quick and easy make and keeps well in the refrigerator to snack on later in the week.

[@marandageary6615]

I wish I could enjoy Kale as a salad. It has so many health benefits. I am not giving up on it. I am going to try your salad.

[@leighflorkevich9916]

I've always loved kale. My Maw Maw Madeline used to cook it with ham hocks in a pressure cooker. They were so tender and good. Oh my gosh, I'm sending a card to Corie and Austin and I wrote a long note to them in cursive! I'm 67 and learned cursive in grade school and it's just what I'm used to. I forget that cursive is almost obsolete now.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Leigh!! No worries if she needs me to I’ll read it to her 😀

[@BRuthable]

Oh boy! I love kale and this is a way I haven’t tried. Will now. Thanks!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I love kale salad. That looks good! I like it with the dried cranberries or cherries and nuts. I also like it with apples chopped up in it with feta cheese. I’ve had it with mandarin oranges and those dry crushed ramen noodles and almonds and a dressing that was kind of a little Asian tasting. So good for you!

[@kayetompsett1887]

After watching this I had to go out and purchase all of the ingredients to make it! Thank you 🥰

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Hope you enjoy!!

[@debbielewis9018]

I just watched your I am from canning jars. Again tears rolling down my face. And if you think that its is a bad thing you are wrong. It filled my heart with love

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@dianewilliams5271]

Very pretty, healthy salad

[@rondahoward5341]

My nanny grew kale every year and she cooked it the same way she cooked turnip greens or mustard greens, on the stove with a ham bone. Never my favorites. My mother served it and spinach raw, in a salad with chopped hard boiled eggs. She’d make her own dressing with bacon grease, a little vinegar and some spices or salt and pepper. She’d serve it warm and pour over the salad and it’s delicious!

[@alicevaughn7990]

My favorite salad !!

[@rosehunt9640]

I received the cookbook this week. I love it! 📒 Thanks Tipper and Jim!

[@conniebaker1958]

Yum!!!!! That looks really good. I love my greens. I bet apples would be good in that too. Hugs to all 🙏 for Miss Cindy., I hope your burn is ok. I keep aloe on hand in kitchen just in case I get burned

[@miseentrope]

I ❤ kale. Thanks for sharing. I don't have the patience nor salad serving utensils to toss the salad; I'd just use clean hands to mix, yes even after adding the dressing. Massaging the dressing into the kale helps tenderize it too.

[@jeninethompson9540]

Hi Tipper I love kale I also make kale and sausage soup and kale with white beans.kale with tomatoes and on andon Thanks for this recipe

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

It's such a tasty green 😀

[@kimlhelzy]

The salad is beautiful.

[@barbaratankersley7117]

Hi tipper i just love any kind of greens so i know i would really like it Thank you for sharing

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Barbara 😀

[@bobbylee_]

Kale soup is really popular here due to the Portuguese population. Kale is a superfood. It retains all it’s nutrients if raw or cooked.

[@tammyreichert3636]

I never had kale as a kid either. Homemade kale chips are the bomb! Cut your kale whatever size you like, toss in olive oil to coat, the add spices and toss again. I usually use garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Spread them on a cookie sheet and back at 350. Bake till they're as crisp as you want. I usually make 2 cookie sheets worth for just myself. YUM!!!!!!! I love kale salad too. Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@Catloudan]

I would 100% keep the garlic in. Not only do I love it but fresh garlic is good for you!

[@tracycassel2903]

I had asked you in the comments on another video about your work table in the kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing the link. I look forward to purchasing it for my own home. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy your channel very much.

[@ericpass9749]

Love spending time with you in the kitchen! I'm going low carb, so there will be a lot of kale in my future.

[@carolwong5949]

Wow, craisins would be so great with kale. Thank you!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😀

[@brendawoods554]

Your Kale salad looks delicious, and Kale is a super food, very healthy.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Brenda 😀

[@johnnymayo8534]

I found out about kale 15 years ago and really prefer it over all other greens w/ the exception of spinach & collards. Keeping Miss Cindy & ur family in my thoughts/prayers.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Johnny! I really like it too 😀

[@RobertSmith-vr9bs]

Nice to hear everyone has been spending time w Mrs Cindy .I'm sure it's good for her morale. Will serv you all as well in the future w memories of her .

[@mgb5170]

So special ❤

[@sharonpults1177]

So interesting to hear your statement about the girls not being able to read cursive. It has only been about 4 or 5 years since the schools up here stopped teaching cursive. Another lost art. Love the video and the salad looks delicious.

[@trudiewells9446]

Love the ending😊

[@Bondobaby59]

I got my cookbook, today! Thank you, Tipper! I’m praying for all of you. ❤️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Yay! Thank you!

[@saner6888]

I see that salad in my future😋great for work lunches, maybe with some grilled chicken. Can’t wait till my kale gets big enough!!!! Thanks Tipper

[@LDHBees]

This salad reminds me of the kale side salad at Chick-Fil-A...which I love! I will for sure try this recipe - thanks for sharing... I'm always looking for new ways to use up all the kale...as you know it can sometimes be a challenge!

[@maryann6522]

Very healthy salad❤

[@apcadd80]

Praise report for my prayer request. The growth that was found on my pancreas hasn’t grown and no further testing needed for another year! At this point it doesn’t seem to be cancerous just need to watch for any changes in size. Thank you for the prayers.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Wonderful news!! Praise God!! I will continue to pray for you!! So happy for you!!

[@wandamyers2690]

I fix it just like i do kilt lettuce and green onions only using kale instead of lettuce. It's so good with hot cornbread 😋

[@caris1298]

Massage the kale with your hands in olive oil before adding anything and i swear it’s so much easier to incorporate anything else :) really softens the kale as well!

[@rhondalampe6676]

Hi Tipper, Kale is delicious! Thanks for sharing Prayers for Miss Cindy and all your family. Kale soup sounds so good . The Lampe’s

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for watching 😀

[@FaithFamily26]

Oh, yummy! ❤ Thank you... Melissa Faith, Liberty, KY

[@kimgreene9241]

If I’ve had kale I wasn’t aware of it but that looks so good and crunchy I might just have to try it. God Bless all of you and I’m still continuously praying for Ms. Cindy and all of you 🙏🏼❤️

[@lisapop5219]

I bet orange sections would be nice too

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Yum I bet that would be great 😀

[@janetlavoie2441]

I didn't grow up eating kale either but quickly learned how versatile it is. The only thing I change in my dressing is I add a ounce or so of mustard ( just the yellow hot dog mustard..nothing fancy) to the dressing.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I just love it 😀

[@tonytherf-mb3dg]

Tipper you're so dag gone cute. I did notice your arm had a bandage on it and was wonderin what happened. I seem to always burn or scrape myself while working outside or takin stuff out of the oven. That kale salad looks good. Like you said you could put almost anything in it. Glad Miss Cindy was at the house with yall. God bless yall. I feeling full of emotions for some reason. ❤

[@AlabasterClay]

Oh, I definitely want to eat it the next day. Better the day after.

[@lindajones3056]

Sounds wonderful.

[@AClark15]

That looks so good. I would probably be the only one eating in my house, but I’d sure do it. 😂

[@renitameares3838]

This looks wonderful!

[@OlliesGrandma]

Continued prayers for Miss Cindy and all of you. You all are holding a precious place in my heart these days.

[@JohndaCantrell]

Oh my goodness, I love this video. The unscripted parts are my favorite thing. How sweet the conversations with your girls are. They are amazing young women with such level headedness. The conversation about cursive was so intriguing. Not many young people would think twice about that. I've often wondered if a young person came across a chest of love letters sent from their great grandparents during the war and they couldn't read them, even if they wanted to. It's almost like a lost language. My prayers for Miss Cindy and your family. It is such a hard thing to go through, you people exude the Appalachian spirit. We take care of our own.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😊

[@melrose795]

That looks so good! I really like raw Kale in a salad and the almonds and c raisins and cheese seem like the perfect combo..Thanks!!

[@elizabethpiveronus3359]

That salad looks so good 🥗

[@marthawalton8370]

I also love your apron!!

[@timfarris6801]

Good heavens that was a Beutiful said tipper if you make it its gotta be good .im sorry to hear that you burned your arm 😮 and I hope it gets better soon because we would be lost without you tipper .tell Matt I said hi .thank you so much ..😊

[@mollytuininga6056]

add strawberries too,yum

[@MrCorvettegirl2]

Hi Tipper I made this kale salad & we loved it 👍 The only thing I did differently was take my garlic and mince it up and tossed it back in the salad …so good & healthy 😁 Thanks for sharing 🌸

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Yay! 😀

[@melissalambert7615]

Great recipe. Sorry about that burn. Remember to run any burn under cold water (tap) for at least 30-40 seconds. Skin is insulated and will continue to "burn". Sure you know aloe gel is good, but *real* aloe. I grown it (due to often burning myself). Please remember - cool water! Take care!!

[@CarterKey6]

I have started toasting nuts in a pan on the stovetop it takes a few minutes and it doesn’t burn because you are right there

[@ironhorse7588]

Great meal idea 👍 I made it with Turkey and cranberry. It was delicious. God bless you all. 🙏😇

[@jodigregory]

I made this salad today! It is so incredibly good. I added the chickpeas and thinly sliced Vidalia onions. So, so good! The dressing is better than any you could ever buy. Thanks!

[@mishalea]

I love cranberries in salads. That's the only 2 ways I've ever had kale, in sausage and potato soup and salads. Sounds like a refreshing salad. Have a blessed evening.😊🙏 I was gonna say hope your arm is ok, then forgot, then you mentioned it at the end. Take care, Ms Tipper.🌸

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Misha! Hope you've had a good day 😀

[@nickik.9037]

That salad looks delicious. Do you know that I have never tried kale in my whole life. I need to buy a bunch of it & see what it tastes like. It would be a good variety from just iceberg lettuce in a salad. Prayers for you & your family & especially for Miss Cindy. Hugs to you all!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😀

[@TheRealSubourbonMermaid]

Kale is one of those foods that I wish I could like but every time I try it, my tastebuds just say "nope". Same with grapefruits, radishes, okra, and salmon. I keep trying though, they say your tastes change your whole life. This salad sounds and looks so refreshing and hearty, I think I'm going to give it a shot. "Let it marry" that's too cute. 😊 Have a wonderful weekend, Tipper!

[@loripretti843]

I love kale!!! I love creamed kale too!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!!! I will definitely be making it!!! God Bless!!!
