Sauteed Kale with Apples

A standby and favorite recipe in my home, largely approved by friends and family. Okay, so the apple cider vinegar smells like stinky feet, but it tastes soooo good! I find that cooked kale can be easier to digest than raw for those with sensitive stomachs who are looking to enjoy their greens, and provides a large dose of Vit K and Calcium. Enjoy!

Instructions

Heat up the coconut oil medium heat in a large pan or wok and add chopped red onion.
