For the topping
- 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.
- 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
- To a small bowl add all of the dressing ingredients and whisk to combine.
- 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!
