RAW KALE SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING



Raw Kale Salad With Tahini Dressing image

I had some kale salad from my local Ingles grocery store the other day and wanted to make something similar at home. This is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it. The key is to chop up the kale real small. Feel free to put what you want in the salad. The dressing is used in Lebanon to use over fish, felafels, rice, etc.

Time 15m

Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 -4 cups raw kale, finely chopped
1/2-1 apple, chopped (I used fuji)
1/4 cup craisins (or more to taste)
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)
1/4-1/2 cup carrot, grated (I chopped mine in the food processor)
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped (or sliced thin)
1/2 cup edamame beans (can also use garbanzo beans-optional)
1/4 cup mixed sprouts (of choice-optional-I used clover)
1/3 cup tahini (well stirred)
1/3 cup water (more or less depending on how thin you want your dressing)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (may add a little more to taste)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2-3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon honey (more or less to taste, may use other sweeteners)

Steps:

  • Place all the chopped and grated veggies, nuts, and sprouts in a large bowl. Add the edamame beans and/or garbanzo beans, if using.
  • Place tahini, water(start with less water and add more to get to desired consistency), lemon juice, garlic, salt and honey in food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. This makes about 1 cup.
  • Add desired amount of dressing to salad and toss to mix.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp kale and cucumber. Wilted or limp vegetables will not make a good salad.
  • Remove the tough stems from the kale before chopping it. This will make the salad more tender.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumber. This will help the cucumber absorb the dressing better.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the salad. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the salad immediately after tossing it with the dressing. This will prevent the kale from wilting.

Conclusion:

Kale and cucumber salad with lemon-tahini dressing is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and the lemon-tahini dressing adds a delicious and creamy flavor. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
