Hi again Kathy!

How do you make these recipes yours? Do you like to add certain veggies, or spices or herbs?

[mtmouse]

Oh, I always kind of just use whatever I have in the house! But in my cauliflower tabouli I always put mint and parsley (I don't like cilantro) and turmeric (because I think a yellow color is more appetizing).

I've been known to throw in some raisins, too.

My kale salad is pretty much like yours. I start with Cornbleet's recipe and omit the olives she calls for. I usually use walnuts instead of pine nuts just for cost.

They sure are good!

Another salad I love is fennel salad from Cohen. That's a staple around here!

Happy eating!

OMG, I just got hold of the best recipe since my dragon crackers! And it's the most wonderful way to eat raw kale I've ever come across. These are too fabulous for words!

You definitely need a dehydrator, and probably need a Vita-Mix for this recipe. If you don't have the VM, you'll probably have to start with cashew or mac nut butter rather than nuts. You can also make it with flat kale like lacinato or dragon kale, or maybe even spinach, but the result is best with curly kale.

Cheesy Kale Crackers

2 large bunches curly kale, red or green
2-3 red bell peppers, cored and cut into pieces
Juice of 1-1/2 lemons
2 tsp salt
2-1/2 cups cashews or mac nuts or mix of both
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups nutritional yeast

Blend all ingredients a long time, until really, really creamy.

Rinse and dry kale, then strip leaves and discard stems. Tear kale into small pieces, maybe 1x1" or 2x2" at most. Try to have some curly part on each piece. Use all the little pieces of the kale that are at the bottom of the stem too. Small is good, so be sure to use all the little bits that fall off. If you make a whole recipe, you will need a huge bowl.

Put kale pieces into the bowl, then pour the batter over them and massage the mix by hand until every piece of kale is coated with the batter.

Then spread big handfuls at a time onto a dryer sheet. You can kind of spread them out, but it's okay if they overlap or clump together.

Dry until really, really crisp (probably 24-36 hours).

Enjoy!
