Kale has been growing in full strength this season, and members of Urban Oasis have been lucky enough to get a bit each week. Yet, I still hear the question "What can else I do with kale?" The truth is, you can get tired of the same old thing all the time, so I set out each growing week to come up with something different to put on your plate. As I slowly walk though the rows of kale, recipes swim wildly in my mind. Eventually, I settle on an idea - A dip - and just in time for the Super Bowl!
We go to gatherings, hang out in bars or just end up on the couch somewhere to watch the big game. Regardless of where we find ourselves, there's usually some form of junk food around. I'm betting a healthier option, like the one here - served with fresh Urban Oasis broccoli or carrots, might make you feel a little better while you're drinking that extra beer.
