There's no doubt potatoes are a staple on most Thanksgiving tables. But instead of heavy mashed potatoes, lighten up with this mouth-watering and vitamin-rich warm potato salad with kale.

Ingredients (serves 2)

3/4 pound (about 6 small) red potatoes, quartered
1 head dinosaur kale, shredded
1/4 cup parsley leaves, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
Salt & pepper to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) 

Cook the Potatoes
Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of sale to the water and bring to boil. Cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and put potatoes in serving bowl.

Prepare the Salad
While the potatoes are still warm, add the shredded kale, chopped parsley, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Top salad with hemp seeds and serve. Optional: add dressing of choice.  Serve and enjoy!
