Notes

If you don't have a food processor, a blender works fine. Just make sure you slice the kale leaves into smaller pieces and take care to remove the tough ribs for easier blending.

Healthy Creamy Kale Dip Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 1 bunch green kale, stems and tough ribs stripped out and discarded, leaves sliced
    1 small onion, sliced
    4 cloves garlic
    1/4 cup water
    3/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
    1 1/2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
    Juice of 1 lemon
    Lemon zest to taste
    1/4 teaspoon sea salt
    1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine kale, onion, garlic and 1/4 cup water. Set over medium heat, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, about 12 minutes; add more water a tablespoon at a time if the pan dries out.
  2. Transfer vegetables and any liquid in the pan to a food processor or blender and let cool a few minutes. Add ricotta, parmesan, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper flakes. Process until smooth.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
