Tahini Kale Salad
Tahini Kale Salad is healthy, easy and delicious! The homemade creamy dressing is made with tahini, olive oil, lemon and maple syrup.
Ingredients
Ingredients in the Tahini Salad Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons tahini - Make sure it's nice and drippy - not thick or clumpy or it won't combine.
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil - Good quality extra virgin olive oil is key.
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Ingredients in the salad:
- 6 cups chopped curly kale - You can also use your favorite variety of kale.
- ⅙ of a small red onion, thinly sliced - I don't like too much onion in my salad so I only use a little.
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes - I used sun-dried tomatoes that were not in oil. If yours are in oil, be sure to drain them.
- ⅓ cup shaved or shredded parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
Instructions
- First, make the Tahini Salad Dressing. Place all the ingredients into a small jar. Put the lid on and shake until combined. Alternatively, use a fork and whisk the dressing very well.
- Once you clean, de-stem and chop the kale, throw it into a salad bowl and add about 1-1 ½ tablespoons of the dressing. Gently massage the greens with clean hands for about 2-3 minutes. You will feel that the leaves are not as tough after massaging.
- Add the red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, and pine nuts to the bowl.
- Pour desired amount of the dressing over the salad, toss and enjoy!
