  1. Hey Kathy, GREAT blog, found you from RFR. Can you tell me if you soak the nuts for your cheezy kale salad? I have a ton of kale on hand and I think I have everything I need at home to make this one. THANKS!!

  2. I soak all of my nuts and seeds prior to using them. Soaked nuts/seeds are more nutritional and are easier to blend and have a smoother consistency. Enjoy! thanks for reading my blog!!
