Sensationally green and surprisingly yummy! Not only is this great as a dip with crackers or crudités but you can serve it as a spread over Serene’s Rustic Pizza Crust (page 212) topped with feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers, and you have a Wow Factor pizza! You can also use this dip as the basis for a creamy kale soup; just add boiling water to 2 to 3 tablespoons of this dip and stir well. Garnish with pecorino romano and add a scoop of collagen. That’s truly a healthy fast-food lunch idea when mealtime hits and you have no time to stop, think, or prepare. The Cheesy Kale Dip recipe is found in the “All Things Smooth and Crunchy – Crackers, Chips, and Dips” section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 467. This recipe is a multiple-serve, party-size recipe.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Combine all the ingredients except the kale, water, and S option olives in a blender and process until very smooth.
-
Place the kale in a large saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil and then cover and turn down the heat to simmer until cooked; the vivid greens become darker when cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain the kale in a colander, then add the kale to a blender a bit at a time and blend until creamy smooth. Stir in the olives (if using).
-
Taste and adjust the seasonings to “own it.” Chill and enjoy as a nutritional powerhouse protein dip.
Note
You could grind the chia seeds to a powder in a coffee grinder first to make the blending of the seeds more effective.
