Moolah

KALE

Think of slang for money that also refers to a leafy green vegetable often used in Southern U.S. cuisine.

"Moolah" is slang for money, but here it’s a playful hint at "kale," the leafy green. The trick is that "kale" sounds like "cash" when you think of the phrase "show me the kale" as a pun on "show me the money." It’s a common crossword gag where food terms stand in for financial slang.
