Instructions

The inspiration for this tasty kale salad recipe with tahini and herb dressing comes from my friend Robert. I have made a few changes to make it a blood sugar-friendly, delicious meal. By adding protein and healthy fat (in the form of poached chicken and avocado) while slightly reducing the amount of dates and honey it is a balanced, delicious, nutrient-dense meal. The perfect salad to enjoy for lunch or take to a gathering. Enjoy!
