We all know what day it is: May 4th. Most people do not pay much mind to this date, but as any true Star Wars fan knows, this is the day that we wish each other well in harnessing our powers for the good of all space-kind. Indeed, today let us all greet one another as one should most days: “May the fourth be with you”. Get it? It’s like saying, “May the force be with you” but instead of “force”, you say “fourth”. Preeeeeetty clever.
To celebrate, we recommend getting all of your Star Wars fan friends together and making this super simple recipe to use in our super cool chip and dip plate. And… we’re using kale in our recipe. Yes, kale. It seems like kale is everywhere you look – and for a good reason! It is an ultra-good-for-you superfood that actually tastes yummy. We decided to hop on the bandwagon and see just what kale had to offer us – and we are so glad that we did! This garlic kale hummus recipe taught us that food that is good for you can also be fun to eat. It is also a perfect recipe to whip up for parties and celebrations – it’s quick, easy and will turn the whole room into veggie lovers!
