Instructions

  1. Wash and slice the kale thin. Put into a salad bowl and set aside.

For the topping

  1. Toast the cashews in a small frying pan over low heat until starting to turn golden. Remove from the heat and add to a food processor along with lemon zest, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast. Pulse until the cashews are fairly small pieces and all ingredients are combined. It should be a crumbly texture.
  2. Add cashew topping back to the small frying pan and toast for a few more minutes on medium-low heat; about 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

For the dressing

  1. To a small bowl add all of the dressing ingredients and whisk to combine.
  2. To make the salad toss together the dressing with the kale and the cashew topping. Alternatively, toss the kale with the dressing only and then serve topped with cashew topping.

Notes

  • This salad would be delicious topped with your favourite protein including our delicious Baked Tofu!
