Instructions

Place the slices on the grill, grill pan, or non-stick baking sheet, brush the tops with soy sauce, and grate a little black pepper over them. Grill or bake until tender, turning after 5 minutes in a grill pan or 10 minutes in the oven. (They took about 10 minutes in my Foreman grill, but will probably take longer using the other methods.)

Place the chopped kale in a very large bowl and add 2 tablespoons of the Pumpkin Seed Dressing.

This massage should take 2 to 4 minutes.
