Raw Kale Salad with Miso Dressing

INGREDIENTS

• 1 or 2 heads kale, any variety (I like Curly Kale for this salad)
• 1/4 cup dried Organic cranberries
• 1/4 cup Pine nuts
• Extra Virgin First Cold-Pressed Olive Oil
• Sea Salt
• Miso Dressing (see recipe below)

Strip kale of stems, tear into small pieces and soak in a bowl for a minute or two to get rid of any sand or dirt. Drain kale and using a salad spinner, spin the kale dry. Place kale in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and a dash of sea salt. Massage kale with your hands for a few minutes until it softens. This helps the kale become easier to digest.

Add cranberries & pinenuts and toss with Miso Dressing.

• 1 tbl dijon mustard
• 1 tbl white sweet miso
• 1/4 c. rice wine vinegar
