Kale might be the absolute best vegetable for a CrossFitter: calorie for calorie it is easily the most anti-inflammitory edible thing I have found, it is super super basic, and it goes well with virtually any protien source, or when used in a recovery drink. There are probably more Kale recipes on Keep Your Fucking Chest Up dot com with nothing more than meat, than any other veggie, even spinach.
Sorry for no pictures, but do this: breifly steam some whole leaf kale (less than 4 minutes), drain. Place in bowl with a bunch of green onions. Toss with red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Grill till the tips of the kale leaves are brownish/black. It should leave you with a fairly crisp stem, burnt/crispy tips and a nice transition in between. Green onions should be crispy at the ends and fairly firm in the center.
Serve with meat.
Bonus factoid: it has a 2:1 n3:n6 ratio (Double bonus factoid: n= omega fatty acid)
