Cover raw cashews in water and let them soak while you chop the kale and roughly chop the leaves. Move the chopped leaves to a bowl and massage them for a couple of minutes until the kale takes on appearance of steamed kale.
-
To make the dressing, blend cashews, water, lemon juice, tamari, cilantro, garlic in blender until creamy. (If you're making the dressing ahead of time, store in a sealed container in the refrigerator up until 5 days. It will thicken over time.) Toss the Kale with dressing until the leaves are coated and then add whatever vegetables you like.

Alternative ideas:
-
raw garlic is much stronger than cooked - can reduce to one clove if you prefer
-
you can also adjust wtatever herbs or combination of herbs you'd like - just substitute your favorite herb for cilantro (some ideas - dill, parsley, oregano, thyme, basil)
-
You can add avocado and it will become a creamy avocado dressing.
