Lemon Maple Viniagrette

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients
  1. Start by removing the tough stems from the kale. Although Erewhon uses curly kale, you can also use locinato kale (also called dino kale). Then chop the kale into bite-sized pieces and clean in a salad spinner.
  2. You'll also want to drain and rinse the white beans and dice the avocado. Don't forget to measure out and set aside the hemp hearts as well.
Roast the Seeds
  1. The easiest way to roast your seeds is to gently toss them in a little bit of olive oil and sea salt and roast them for 2 to 3 minutes under the broiler. When the tops start to get golden brown toss them and put them back in the oven for another mintue or two. It's better to slightly underroast them then to overdo it as you'll end up with a bitter burnt flavor.
Make the Vinaigrette
  1. Combine 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1/4 cup mustard (I like to use a combination of dijon and grainy.) Add 1 to 2 garlic cloves and healthy pinch of sea salt.
  2. Using the immersion blender is my preferred method because you'll get a creamier dressing that won't split but you can also shake well in a leakproof jar. In this case, you'll need to grate or finely chop the garlic before adding.
Assemble
  1. Now that all of your ingredients are prepared, all that's left to do is combine them in a large mixing bowl and enjoy!
