Kale Seaweed Slaw

I'm not a fan of raw cabbage, I'm not a fan of kale - cooked or raw (except in smoothies :P), but I'm a fan of this salad! I was skeptical today as I helped "Mum" make it but as I smelt and tested the dressing and I smelt it all mixed together, I couldn't wait to try it. When I did, I was sold! And you will be too!

Kale Seaweed Slaw
1 Bunch Kale, washed, destemmed and shredded
1/4 Cabbage, shredded
1/2 Cup Arame Seaweed (soaked 10 min and drained)

DRESSING
1/3 Cup Olive Oil

1 1/2Tbs Unpasteurised Miso

2Tbs Onion Powder
1 Clove Garlic


Method:

1. Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a blender ad blend till smooth.
2. Massage the kale for a few moments, to soften. The mixture should take on a 'cooked', broken down appearance.

Key Lime Kream Bars

You know those warm summer days that make you crave something creamy, cold and DELICIOUS? I do. I'm not a sweet tooth but I do LOVE this recipe. Summer or winter! Maybe that's because it's not an overly sweet recipe but is more tangy with all that lime juice. Oh, just thinking about it makes my mouth water! And the best thing about it is that it's quick to make and can potentially last for weeks and months in the freezer. But once you try it, it won't last long i'm sure!

Key Lime Kream Bars

4 Cups     Cashews
1            Rind of lime
1 Cup      Lime Juice
1/2 Cup   Agave syrup (or maple syrup)
1/2 Cup   Liquid coconut oil
1 tsp       Vanilla Extract (optional)
1 Cup      Water (or as needed)

Method

1. Combine cashews, lime juice, rind, syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla and blend until smooth, adding water as needed.
2. Scoop or pour mixture into a pie dish.
3. Freeze for 2-3 hours until chilled and set.
4. Cut into bars to serve.

Will keep for weeks in the freezer.
