Instructions
Start with the shiitake bacon: Wash, thinly slice the mushrooms, keeping the stems, and soak in the ingredients for at least 30 minutes, the longer the better. Place in oven on a baking sheet with aluminum foil on 250 for 30-40 minutes. Rotate midway. Should be slightly crisp, but not overly crisp. Set aside to cool.
To make the dressing: Soak cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain water, and combine all ingredients in a food processor. Set aside in the fridge.
Prep the salad: Wash kale, remove from the stems and slice thin. Place olive oil in your hands and massage the leaves for 2-3 minutes until soft. Dress the greens with the remaining dressing, toss in chopped tomatoes
Bake your crusts and assemble your pizza: Preheat your oven to 420F. Spray the crusts with some oil. Bake crusts for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and spread a small amount of dressing on top of each. Pile on kale and tomato salad. Return to oven and bake another 5 minutes.
Remove and top with avocado and mushroom bacon. Enjoy!
