Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash kale under running water and then tear leaves off the ribs. Tear or chop leaves into bite-size pieces & place in a microwavable safe bowl (don't dry leaves). If kale is dry, add 1 tablespoon of water. Cover & microwave on high for 3 minutes.
  • Place the rest of ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth & creamy. Taste & add more seasoning if necessary.
  • Pour sauce over steamed kale & mix until kale is well coated. Enjoy!
  • Note: if you prefer less sauce on your kale, you can do 2 bunches of kale to batch of the cashew cream sauce. I have kids so sauce is KEY!

Notes

The most important thing is to use fresh bunches of kale and not bagged.  The ribs are so bitter and tough & you get a lot of that in the bags.  It is also not as fresh & much more expensive.  It really makes a difference in this recipe!
