Everything but the Kitchen Sink Kale Salad with Cashew Honey Mustard Dressing



This dressing is the best. The secret, once again, is cashews! Sometimes I follow a recipe for my salads, but other times I just throw whatever I have around the house on it. Original recipe can be found here.

Here is what you will need:
Local and/or organic is always best. 

Serves 1

Salad:
1/2 bunch of kale, chopped
1/2 cup corn, or corn on the cob shaved off (I love this in the summer!)
a few chopped green onions
a handful of raisins 
1 oz. walnuts

Or:
1/2 bunch of kale, chopped
1/4 head red cabbage, chopped
a few chopped green onions
1 oz. pumpkin seeds
a handful of raisins

Dressing:
1/2 cup cashews
3/4 cup water
4 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. dijon mustard

Prepare salad on a plate. Take the Magic Bullet and blend up all the ingredients for the dressing for about a minute, until everything is blended together. Pour  a little dressing on the salad and you're done. Enjoy!

*This dressing usually lasts for about 3 or 4 salads. Use within 5 days.
