Ohhh! I just made this, as a matter of fact I am just eating it. I knew it would be good! I just had to use savoy cabbage(??) as no kale in this country. I’ll keep looking for kale because I am going to make this to all my friends and family, I love it.

..and anyway your website is so inspirational and beautiful, thank you. And once I thought raw food would be dull, mhah!

This recipe makes for a perfect Christmas dish. We use our biggest round serving dish and shape the Wilted Kale Salad into a wreath… then, place crackers in the center. We’ve been making this recipe as a wreath every Christmas for the last 3 years. People really love the way it looks and tastes!

Russell,
I made this dish for lunch today. It was awesome! So hearty and a real filler. It is Sunday and our health food store is closed, so I went to our local grocer and found pine nuts to substitute for the hemp seeds. It was so delicious! I also liked how quickly I could make this – work full time and making quick raw food dishes is very appealing.

Russell!

You are a genius!

I made this for myself yesterday and it was amazing! Just utterly delightful… Who knew kale could be this good??

I didn’t use chipotle peppers, and I forgot to add the hemp seeds! But it still turned out to be awesome :)

Thank you so much for sharing this, and I can’t wait to try your other recipes!

With lots of love and gratitude,
Angela

Hi Russell,

Looks very delicious.
How much is 4 heads of kale in cups or grams?
Can I use something else instead of the hemp seeds or leave them out? (I have sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and flax seeds)

Thanks :)

From Russell: Use around 1kg of kale and the hemp seeds can be left out or replaced with any of your favourite seeds.

Hi Russell,

Great recipe. A few questions.

Can I substitute hulled hemp seeds with hulled sesame seeds?

Can I substitute agave with raisins or honey?

(I live in Asia, American ingredients are hard to find.)

From Russell:

Yes to both questions! Honey would be better than raisins.

I made this today- didn’t have everything (hemp seeds) so added sunflower, and used a regular tomatoe. I can’t wait to try it tomorrow since I heard it was better the second day. yum!
