DELI KALE SLAW (VEGAN FRIENDLY)
Another recipe my niece Next Jeneration shared with me. Fact: she stole the recipe ;). Amounts of ingredients are estimated-servings are estimated. I think green onions or a small amount of red onion diced small would be really good in this slaw.

Steps:
- I start by making the dressing first in a high speed blender until smooth, then mixing it throughly with the kale to help soften it. The dressing includes the almond flour, vinegar, maple syrup, water, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper and curry powder.
- After the kale has been mixed with the dressing, toss the remaining ingredients with the kale. It is better if it sits a while before eating so the flavors can blend, but it is not essential. If you cannot find ground almond flour, you can use raw whole almonds but it will take more powerful blending to make it into a smooth and creamy dressing.

KALE SLAW
I've made this slaw many times with Kale from our garden; most recently for a church potluck with several requests for the recipe. Just received one from a friend "to offset all the heavy starchy (but yummy!) dishes on the [Thanksgiving] menu". Sounds like a good idea to me!

Steps:
- 1. I use about 10-20 leaves of Russian Kale from our garden, but any Kale will do. I'd say the volume is about 8-12 cups of chopped kale, so judge accordingly if you buy the kale in a market. Chop to about 1/2"x1" pieces. Then add carrot and onion in a large bowl.
- 2. Fresh squeeze the juice of one good-sized orange and lemon. Mix and add to the greens and veggies. Use your hands to rub the orange and lemon juices into the kale leaves. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- 3. You can stop here if you like, it is surprisingly quite fresh tasting and delicious!
- 4. Add the candied pecans (slightly chopped) and craisins. Mix well. You can stop here and serve a very delicious salad.
- 5. Add the bacon. This ingredient is optional, I only occasionally add it, and even sometimes use the "Real Bacon" (purchased in a jar found in the salad condiment aisle) so I don't have to cook anything.
- 6. Combine the mayonnaise and olive oil (I shake it in a 1/2 pint canning jar with lid). Add and mix well to coat all ingredients.
- 7. Refrigerate until serving. This can be made several hours ahead of time. One of a very few fresh green salads that can be leftover and eaten the next day!
KALE SLAW
I love this as a substitute for a salad and it keeps great. I don't normally put carrot but it really makes it look better and gives it some texture. I add the mayo to 'eye' it. I like it creamier but my other half doesn't. The lemon makes a HUGE difference!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh kale, crisp vegetables, and flavorful dressing are essential for a delicious kale slaw. Look for kale with deep green leaves and avoid any leaves that are wilted or yellowed.
- Massage the kale: Massaging the kale with a little salt helps to break down the tough fibers and make it more tender. This also helps to release the kale's natural flavors.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables to your kale slaw will add color, texture, and flavor. Some good options include shredded carrots, red cabbage, broccoli florets, and bell peppers.
- Make your own dressing: A homemade dressing is always better than store-bought. There are many different recipes for kale slaw dressing, so you can find one that suits your taste. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey is a good place to start.
- Chill the slaw before serving: Chilling the slaw before serving helps to allow the flavors to meld and develop. It also makes the slaw more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Kale slaw is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, kale slaw is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
