Spicy Raw Kale Salad


We have so much kale in our garden, I needed new creative ways to prepare it!

Large bunch of kale, trimmed from the stems
1 carrot
1/2 of a red onion
2-3 peeled garlic cloves
2-3 serrano peppers
1/3 cup of olive oil
juice of 3 limes (or lemons)
1/2 cup of raw pepitas

Chop or tear the kale into bite sized pieces. In a processor, finely chop the carrot, onion, garlic and peppers and add to the kale. Whisk together the olive oil and lime juice. Pour over the kale and veggies, toss well. Add the pepitas and toss again. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour first.
