Ingredients

Kale Salad

  • 2 bunches kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
  • 1 apple, sliced thin
  • 1 pear, sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 3 tablespoons toasted unsalted pepitas
  • 3 tablespoons toasted unsalted sunflower seeds

Tahini dressing

  • 3 tablespoons tahini, I use Soom Foods
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoon cold water

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients for the tahini dressing to a jar. Screw on the lid and shake vigorously until well combined. If the dressing is too thick add an extra tablespoon of water. Taste for seasoning.
  • Add the chopped kale leaves to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with salt and add a tablespoon of the dressing. Use your hands to massage the kale leaves until they soften and turn dark green, about 3 minutes.
  • Top the kale with the sliced apple and pear, sunflower seeds, pepitas, and feta. Drizzle on the dressing or serve on the side.
