Vegan Kale Caesar Salad

Step 1

To prep the cashews, soak for at least two hours or overnight.

Step 2

When cashews are done soaking, combine with all other dressing ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Add more water to thin, if needed.

Step 3

Take your kale leaves, and remove the leafy parts from the woody stem. Chop up the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Squeeze the juice from about 1/2 a lemon onto the kale leaves, and "massage" them with your hands. That helps break the kale down so it's easier to digest.

Step 5

Drizzle the caesar dressing over the kale leaves, as much as you like. Note - there may be some leftover.

Step 6

Top the salad with hemp seeds, fresh black pepper, and lemon zest (or any other toppings you like).

Step 7

Enjoy!
