Instructions

Wash kale. Strip leaves from stems. With a processor or by hand slice the leaves into 1/8 inch (3mm) thin slices. The thinner, the better as it makes the kale more enjoyable to eat.
Chop all your chosen ingredients, small pieces / slices, ideally.
If using mushrooms: chop mushrooms, fry them in a pan with a little bit of olive oil. Add some onion salt from trader joe's or your favorite spices. May also add balsamic vinegar.
Mix all leaves and vegetable / fruit ingredients. Then add seeds, nuts and dried fruit, if using.
Sprinkle a generous serving of nutritional yeast over it.
Add generous amount of Goddess dressing from Trader Joe's or your favorite dressing.
Enjoy!
