"Cheesy" Kale Salad

3-4 cups of torn kale (bite sized pieces), stems removed
2 TBSP Nutritional Yeast
(found in Whole Foods etc. in the vitamin aisle, try to get a brand that is fortified with B12, since that is the reason to use it other than the flavor.  A big tub runs about $15-20ish and last a while)
Garlic powder to taste
1 TBSP Olive Oil
Salt
1 TBSP Water

Put all in measuring cup and stir with a whisk to blend together

Take off any rings and put the kale in a BIG bowl, pour on dressing and get ready to get messy...
Massage the kale and dressing for a few minutes until it becomes slightly wilted and the dressing is well combined

Eat as a salad by itself or use as a bed for an entree, like the burrito we had, as shown

  1. have you ever tried frozen kale? i picked a pack up at whole foods over the weekend. i won't use it with this recipe, but i'm sure it will be fine with pasta. don't you think?

    i also use nutritional yeast in a similar way to make macaroni and cheese.

  2. Julie - I haven't tried frozen kale, but I use frozen spinach in pasta and I bet it is the same. How do you make Macaroni and cheese? I've tried so many vegan recipes using nutritional yeast but have no "favorite"

  3. i just commented on your recent mac and cheese post. it's pretty much the same, just no sweet potato. i also add red pepper flakes, but we like things spicy!!
