WHAT YOU'LL NEED

1 bag of kale
2-3 garlic cloves
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup grated parmesan
1/4 cup almonds
1-2 tbsp balsamic
Lemon zest
Salt + pepper, to taste
Red pepper flake, optional

 HOW YOU'LL MAKE IT

Start by preparing a large bowl with water and ice. Next, bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil and add in half of your bag of kale. Your kale should only be in the boiling water for about 15-30 seconds before removing with a slotted spoon and transferring it to your bowl of ice water.

Remove kale from the ice water and squeeze out as much water as you can and lay it out onto some paper towels.

Not including the parmesan, salt, and pepper, add in the rest of the ingredients to a blender or a food processor. Blend this until everything is fully combined, transfer to a bowl and fold in your parmesan cheese.

Give it a taste and then adjust the seasoning to your liking! Enjoy!

Enjoy!
