Salad Savoy Chips

January 25, 2011

If you haven’t jumped on the kale chip bandwagon yet, you’ve probably at least heard of them.  I love kale chips.  They take a sometimes hard-to-swallow vegetable and turn it into crispy salty melt-in-your-mouth goodness.  Salad savoy is a relative of kale and is packed with vitamins A & C, calcium and iron.
