If You Think You Don't Like Kale, This Recipe Will Change Your Mind

I’m in love. The dressing alone on this easy Kale Salad is enough to make me swoon. It’s just a very simple Dijon vinaigrette, but it tastes so good with the earthy kale, crunchy walnuts, crisp apple, and juicy raisins. This salad is fresh, tangy, sweet, genuinely EASY, and makes some very budget-friendly ingredients taste just downright delicious. And because kale is so sturdy, it stands up well to being pre-dressed with the vinaigrette, making this salad great for weekly meal prep!

‘Shameful’: Pentagon accused of cover-up over US military casualties in Iran war

The Pentagon is taking a “shameful approach” to releasing information about US casualties in the Iran war, Leon Panetta, a former defence secretary and CIA director, has told the Guardian.
