Lettuce Turnip the Beet: Day 1

Armed with a few raw "uncook" books and an active imagination, we headed to the health food store. Grocery list in hand, we filled our cart with kale, berries, mangos, ginger, avocado, watermelon, a variety of raw nuts, lemons (lots and lots of lemons), and more kale. Who knew raw nut butter could cost so much? Hours later, we headed home to make dinner- a family favorite with a twist, the RAWesome Kale Caesar.



Ingredients:
1 Head Dinosaur Kale- Sliced Fine
1 1/2 Lemons- Juiced
1 tsp. Dijon
1 tsp. Capers- Drained
3 Tbl. Olive Oil2-3 Cloves Garlic- Pressed
1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast
1/8 Cup Raw Sunflower Seeds
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Directions: 
In a large salad bowl (I like my wooden one), mix all ingredients together except the kale and sunflower seeds. Add the kale and toss. Let it sit for 5ish minutes and sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Feeds 2. YUM-OLA! 

The Crowd's Response: One lover, one leaver. I had one child licking the plate while the other returned it almost untouched. To be honest, this may not have been the best starter, as the dressing has a very strong garlic flavor. However, I LOVE it, and my oldest daughter does too.
