Kale Salad with Sour Cherries

I recently created this recipe, because I had a bunch of kale I didn't know what to do with. This is a great way to get your dark leafy greens. Many people who say the hate kale like this recipe.

Kale Salad With Sour Cherries

1 Bunch Lacinto (Dinosaur) Kale, or any kale will do, remove the hard middle stem  and chop into small strips.
1 Cup Dried Sour Cherries

Cilantro Pesto

1 Cup Cilantro, stems included
1/2 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1 Clove of Garlic, green part removed, then press it through a garlic press
1/2 tsp. Himalayan Salt
1 Tbl. Lemon Juice

Place cilantro, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, garlic, salt and lemon juice into food processor, blend until slightly chunky. Place into a large bowl with chopped kale, now massage the shit out of the kale with the pesto on it, for about 5 minutes or less. Then add in the dried sour cherries and stir it all together. Makes enough for 4 people. Lasts for about 5 days in the fridge.
