WILTED KALE SALAD WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE DRESSING

  • whole bunch of kale (this will seem like a lot but will wilt down when the salt is added)
  • 2T salt 2c baby tomatoes, sliced
  • 1c hulled hemp seeds (or raw pine nuts)
  • cilantro to garnish

For the dressing:

  • ½c olive oil
  • 2T agave

Remove the stems and then wash and cut the kale into small pieces. Place into a bowl, add salt and start to massage the kale until it wilts and takes on a ‘cooked’ texture.Add the tomatoes, pine nuts or hemp seeds to the bowl and mix in by hand. Blend dressing ingredients in a high-speed blender until creamy and mix into kale by hand.
