Instructions

Step 1

Once your kale is rinsed, massage the 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the leaves. This will help tenderize the kale, making it nice and soft. Leave to sit while you make the dressing, or up to 4 hours.

Make the dressing:

Step 2

If your tahini is very smooth and "drippy" this will come together easily in a mixing bowl. If it's thicker, a high speed blender makes quick work of it.

Step 3

Combine the dressing ingredients and whisk or blend until very smooth.

Step 4

In a large serving bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients.

Step 5

Pour dressing over the salad and mix well.
