From the monthly calgiant.com e-newsletter. For a vegan version, replace the honey with an approved sugar of choice.

Steps

---

Variations-instead of blueberries and pepitas try any of the following: blackberries and walnuts , sliced strawberries and pecans , raspberries and sliced almonds , marionberries and hazelnuts.

I chose blackberry and walnut.

There is a blackberry bush down the street that now is producing and i had to act quickly before the deer devoured my secret stash.

Remove kale leaves from the stem and chop into bite sized pieces.

Place kale in a large bowl and drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt into leaves , massaging with hands.
