hi Manjula,
I love your recipes! Thank you so much for taking the time to post. I cook for a Buddhist retreat center in Berkeley CA. I cook lunch for 30-40 people on Fridays and mostly use your recipes, I have to multiply by a lot which can be tricky. I would love to make this kale salad, but am not familiar with making ginger juice. I read in other comments that you simply shred and squeeze. My question is how much, in lbs, ginger will i need to make a 1/4 cup of ginger juice? I never did this before, do you think shredding with a food processor will work?
thanks for all of your love!

Caz, thank you very much, you made me happy. About ginger juice about 1/4 lb ginger will work.
