Wilted Kale Salad with Creamy Chipotle Dressing

For the wilted kale
4 heads kale (this will seem like a lot but will wilt down when the salt is added)
2T salt
2c baby tomatoes, sliced
1c hulled hemp seeds

For the dressing
2 small avocados (or 1 large)
2 chipotle peppers*
1/3c olive oil
1Tagave
¼c lemon juice

*If not using chipotle peppers, substitute with onion powder, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and tamari/nama shoyu

* Remove the stems and then wash and cut the kale into small pieces. Place into a bowl, add salt and start to massage the kale until it wilts and takes on a cooked texture. Rinse off salt after it's wilted.

* Add the tomatoes and hemp seeds to the bowl and stir.
* Blend all other ingredients in a high-speed blender until creamy and mix into kale.
