Awesome Kale Green Sauce!

We could all use more greens, am I right? Why not sneak ’em in where you’d least expect them? Like pizza sauce or a salad dressing! That’s right, this  Awesome Kale Green Sauce is just that… a sauce packed with delicious nutritious greens that you can sneak into your not-quite-as-healthy meals to give them that something extra. Or, use it to boost an already nutrient packed salad. (Greens on Greens on Greens)

This green sauce takes literally 5 minutes to make. The 5 minutes probably includes clean up, too. So go ahead, get your green on.

Awesome Kale Green Sauce also makes a great substitute sauce for anyone avoiding nightshades. You want to make pizza but don’t want to have a tomato based and nightshade rich sauce? Use this kale green sauce instead. Have some 100% potato gnocchi that needs some flavor? Green sauce to the rescue.

Also try this awesome green kale sauce on mixed greens, with roasted potatoes, in the Beet and Dandelion Flatbread, or in the Roasted Cauliflower and Kale Flatbread recipe.
