Serve this healthy and delicious sauce on roasted veggies, over salmon or grilled steak or chicken, or on top of a fried egg. Recipe adapted from PinchofYum.com

  • 1 c packed kale (stems removed)
  • 1 c packed cilantro
  • 1/2 c olive oil
  • 1/4 c water
  • 3-4 T fresh lime juice, to taste
  • 1/4 c unsalted cashews – either raw or roasted works (or substitute sunflower seeds or almonds) 
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Blend all the sauce ingredients together in a small blender or food processor until mostly smooth. Serve at room temperature. Refrigerated, the sauce should keep 4-5 days, but it might lose a little of its nice bright green color.
