Ingredients

  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • About ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Put the cashews in a mug and cover with boiled water.
  • Remove the stems of the kale and tear the leaves with your hands. Put them in a small saucepan with ¼ cup water and cook for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool down.
  • Drain the cashews and put them in a blender (a small blender such as Ninja is better) with the rest of the ingredients (except for the kale) and blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Put the kale in a medium bowl, add about 4 tablespoons of dressing and toss well. Taste and add more dressing if desired. Put the remaining dressing in a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
