Warm Mushroom Kale Dip Ready for Guests

Im all about easy quick appetizer that everyone will love. The kale is SO good in this dish and dare I say, healthy-tastingin a great way. I think cheese dips needs some form of greens or health to balance them out a bit. The kale adds such a nice texture to it too. The mushrooms add some nice meatiness without having any meat whatsoever.

I went to Eataly a few weeks ago and picked up some super fancy mushrooms (chantrelles and shiitake) and was looking for a home for them. This dip fit the bill! But you can use any mushrooms you like. If you cant find chanterelles or shiitakes, no big deal, cremini mushrooms would work too. I mean, even white button mushrooms would work. This is a versatile dip.

The key to this dip tasting good is sautéing the mushrooms and kale before theyre mixed with the cheese. Kale really needs some warmth and oil in order to break down and taste good.

If youre looking for a quick, delicious dip during the holidays, this is it!
