Benefits of Kale
Kale is a superfood loaded in antioxidants. Including beta-carotene and vitamin C, as well as various flavonoids and polyphenols. Kale also has protein not as much has other protein rich vegetables but 1 cup of kale has 2.0g of protein compared to 8.6g in a cup of green peas.
Can You Eat Kale Raw?
Yes, like other leafy greens you can eat raw or cooked. Great in salads or smoothies. “Compared with raw kale, all cooking methods resulted in a significant reduction in total antioxidants and minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and magnesium” via Healthline.com
Instructions
Prepare Kale
Step 1: Prep kale by washing, drying (use a salad spinner), roughly chop remove large tough stems and set aside to let any excess water drain.
Prepare Sauce
Step 2: Add to blender or bullet - olive oil, braggs liquid aminos, lemon juice, garlic clove, ¾ cup of sun dried tomatoes and nutritional yeast.
Step 3: Blend sauce until smooth.

Step 4: In a large bowl combined dried kale, ½ of ripe avocado, chopped onions, and remaining reserved ¼ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes.
Step 5: Add sauce and massage with hands to soften kale leaves. About 5 minutes.

How To Store, Freeze & Reheat
Store in airtight container with lid in refrigerator. Kale leaves are hearty and normally massaged Kale would keep for 3 to 4 days. However, this is a salad that has already been dressed and will only be good for 1 to 2 days maximum. Eat cold or at room temperature, do not heat or freeze.

Love this recipe very tasty was kinda skeptical at first because I’ve tried many vegan warps that were bland but this one is the best yet!!! I added ground walnuts in the sauce for added calories and protein because I lift weights…I’m plant based so this was perfect first time making it…love it thanks you guys ❤️‼️

Zoey Marra
I made this one time and I want to try it again. It was good but I don't know if my avocados were ready or not. how do you prepare your avocados?
Shad Wright
Hi Zoey! sometimes we end up with hard avocados if that's what you mean? We discovered that they soften up over a few days especially if they are near citrus fruit like lemons and limes. But when you're picking them out, look for darker colored avocados. They should give a little if you squeeze it lightly.

Spicy, creamy healthy! I've made this a few times it's so great.
