CLEVER KALE SLAW
t 8 Servings t 201 Calories t 5 Brain Boosters ________________________________________________________________
Preparation:
1.         Combine kale, cabbage, carrot, and nuts.
2.         In a small mixing bowl, combine Veganaise, vinegar, stevia (if desired), and spices. Whisk until mixture is blended well.
3.         Toss with salad mix.
4.         Allow salad to refrigerate for 30 minutes prior to serving if possible so flavors can “marry.”
This salad actually tastes better the following day after the flavors marry and the kale has a chance to absorb some of the dressing.
5.         Top with sunflower seeds and dried cranberries.

*Optional: Try combining the ingredients for the dressing—listed in Step 2—in a blender or food processor with 1⁄4 cup sesame oil and 1⁄2 cup raw peanuts or almonds. I’m not a big fan of peanuts, but they give great flavor to the dressing. Purée and pour over salad blend. Toss well.
