Jenny's Yummy Kale Dish

Kale Bowl with Sweet Celery Dressing (raw, vegan, GF)

3 cups raw kale, finely chopped
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup cherry or regular tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp nutritional yeast

For the sweet celery dressing:

Makes about 1 1/2 cups (great as a dip as well!)

4 large (or 6 average) stalks celery, chopped
4 pitted dates (5 if you really like things sweet!)
3-4 tbsp mellow white miso (adjust depending on how salty you like your dressings. You can also use barley miso if you’re sensitive to soy)
1/2 cup flax or hemp oil (I used the Vega EFA oil blend)
1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed (I used a bit more, but I love tartness)
3/4 cup water
2 tbsp flax meal

1) To make the dressing, blend all ingredients in a high speed blender till smooth.

2) Massage about 3-4 tbsp of the dressing into the kale and broccoli with your hands. Dehydrate it at 115 degrees for about 30-40 minutes, till reduced and tender and warm.

3) Mix the kale and broccoli. Add the tomatoes, and then add another 2 tbsp of dressing and toss well. Top with nooch (or hemp seeds!) and enjoy.
