Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Fresh squeezed lemon juice, plus 2 tablespoons for tossing with kale
  • 1 cup Higher Harvest Dairy-Free Plain Protein Yogurt
  • 4 cloves Garlic, lightly crushed
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. In a blender, add lemon juice, yogurt, garlic, mustard, and liquid aminos. Puree until smooth.
