It’s easy to tell from that salad that Nu Kitchen, which recently debuted its third location in Newburyport, is doing everything from scratch, right down to shredding produce in-house, and sourcing locally and organically wherever possible. The kale in that salad has that moist bitter-sweet balance that…

Here, they take us on a global tour of what’s tantalizing their palates come this time of year.
