These delicious kale recipes include comforting pastas, cozy soups, bountiful salads, and more! This vibrant leafy green has never tasted better.
Sautéed Kale On its own, this lemony sautéed kale is a nourishing side dish, but it’s also a great addition to larger recipes. Toss it with pasta, add it to a frittata, or pile it onto pizza. The options are endless!
Kale Pesto This vibrant pesto is my cold weather alternative to classic basil pesto. Toss it with pasta, scoop it onto soups, slather it on a sandwich, dot it onto pizza…you really can’t go wrong.
We’ve all eaten kale salads that are tough and dry, but don’t worry - you won’t find any like that here. Instead, these bountiful salads are bursting with exciting flavors and textures. Tip: they all hold up well if you make them ahead of time (you can even add the dressing!), so they’re great recipes to pack for lunch.
Kale Salad with Carrot-Ginger Dressing If you make just one recipe off of this list, this kale salad should be it. It’s so energizing, refreshing, and satisfying that it’ll win over even the biggest kale skeptics. Roasted chickpeas and toasted seeds add crunch, a rainbow of root veggies makes it vibrant and colorful, and an electric carrot-ginger dressing ties it all together.
Wheat Berry Salad Roasted shallots, sage, and thyme bring complexity and depth to this salad. It’s a stunning dinner side dish, but thanks to the wheat berries and roasted squash, it’s also hearty enough to eat for lunch.
Soba Noodle Picnic Salad with Tahini Miso, page 117 of Love & Lemons Every Day These colorful picnic salads are perfect for packing up and taking on-the-go! I almost always massage kale when I use it in salads, but not here. Instead, I chop it very finely to help it soften. This method saves time, and the finely chopped kale integrates nicely with the noodles when you eat.
Kale Quinoa Salad This mean green salad is a kale explosion! The hearty greens make up the base, while a creamy kale pepita pesto acts as the dressing. I round it out with cooked quinoa, crispy chickpeas, roasted veggies, and scoops of sauerkraut for pop.
Roasted Delicata Squash Kale Salad The ultimate fall lunch! I love how the sweet, creamy delicata squash plays off the nutty farro and Tuscan kale in this recipe.
Steamed, blanched, sautéed, and massaged kale are all fantastic additions to grain bowls. They add a boatload of nutrients and a gorgeous shock of green.
Best Buddha Bowl Make this Buddha bowl recipe as-written, or use it as a template to invent your own bowl! Swap cooked lentils for the chickpeas, or substitute butternut squash for the sweet potatoes. Try using quinoa instead of brown rice, or drizzle on a different sauce. Cilantro lime dressing, green goddess dressing, or any of my tahini sauce variations would be great.
Rainbow Bowls with Almond-Ginger Dressing Tender baby kale adds extra green power to this veggie-packed noodle bowl.
Cauliflower Rice Kimchi Bowls This grain-free grain bowl is one of my favorite recipes to make when I’m in need of a healthy reset. With a base of cauliflower rice, it’s super light and nourishing. Still, sriracha baked tofu, kimchi, and a creamy coconut sauce pack it with bold flavor.
Peanut Noodle Kale Bowls, page 147 of The Love & Lemons Cookbook This recipe = peanut sauce + noodles + a whole bunch of greens. What’s not to love?!
Kale Pesto Mushroom Pistachio Bowls Here’s another recipe where I use kale two ways. I add massaged kale to the base of the bowls and dollop a creamy kale pesto on top. See how green the pesto is? I make it with pistachios instead of pine nuts for extra-vivid color!
I love using leafy greens in all sorts of pasta dishes, and kale is no exception. It adds lovely color and texture to the recipes below:

Best Vegetarian Lasagna My favorite healthy comfort food! Packed with roasted veggies and fresh kale, this lasagna is my ideal dinner on a cold winter night.
Sweet Potato Noodles with Garlic and Kale Is it pasta? Not really. Is it delicious? Yes! This recipe would work equally well with spiralized butternut squash instead of sweet potato.
Spaghetti Squash with Chickpeas and Kale I shared this spaghetti squash “pasta” over 6 year ago now, and to this day, it’s one of the most popular recipes on Love & Lemons. Savory sun-dried tomatoes, chickpeas, and kale transform the roasted squash into a flavorful main dish.
I have these cozy kale recipes on repeat throughout the fall, winter, and early spring! I love the way the hearty greens hold onto their texture in soups and stews, becoming tender, but not at all mushy.
Wild Rice Soup Pssst! This comforting wild rice soup looks rich, but it’s secretly vegan and dairy-free! Blended white beans, cashews, and miso paste make up its creamy, savory base.
Coconut Soup with Sweet Potatoes & Kale, page 85 of Love & Lemons Every Day This vegan riff on Thai tom kha is one of my favorite recipes from my second cookbook. Lime zest, lemongrass, ginger, and cilantro add bright, aromatic flavor to the rich coconut broth.
Lemon Miso Spring Green Soup, page 89 of Love & Lemons Every Day Making a big pot of this brothy soup is my favorite way to welcome spring! Lacinato kale mingles with spring veggies like snap peas, asparagus, shell peas, and scallions. A refreshing mint pesto takes it all over the top.
Ribollita Not sure how to use that stale bread on your counter? Make ribollita! The bread acts as a thickener in this pantry-friendly Tuscan kale and white bean soup.
Kale & Fennel Vegetable Soup, page 149 of The Love & Lemons Cookbook I simmer this soup with a Parmesan rind to infuse it with umami depth of flavor. But if you’re vegan, feel free to leave it out. Thanks to white wine, fennel, lemon juice, and fresh thyme, this healing soup is plenty flavorful without it.
Don’t worry - if you’re not craving pasta, a grain bowl, or a soup, we still have main dish kale recipes for you!
