Health and fertility benefits of Kale BLT Salad

Kale is an excellent source of calcium, which has an important role in egg maturation and follicle development in the ovaries. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1/2 preserved lemon, chopped
1/3 cup crème fraîche
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 ounces slab bacon, sliced 3/4" thick
8 cups chopped Tuscan kale
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

Instructions

Process preserved lemon, crème fraîche, mayonnaise, and vinegar in a food processor until smooth; season dressing with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to use.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high and cook bacon, turning halfway through, until brown and crisp, 8 –10 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels and let cool slightly. Slice crosswise to yield 12 pieces.
Toss kale and dressing in a large bowl until coated; let sit 5 minutes.
