Add toppings and toss to combine. I massage the kale with the dressing and pair it with roasted red peppers and a garlicky turmeric rice. Both my daughters asked for your recipe -The salad looked beautiful and tasted delicious. I’m so glad you enjoy it!

Would love if you provided nutrition info for your recipes, tho. I hope I converted him for at least one meal :) Thanks, Alexa! Thanks for your review, Kathryn! Outstanding entree salad on a hot summer day! Hello! NEW on the blog is this Vegan Chili - just in, Vegan Meatloaf and Cranberry Thanksgiving Leftover, Happy Thanksgiving from me and this Pu, MAKE THIS FOR THANKSGIVING! I subbed capers for the olives and it is still exceptional. I have the best followers on here. I make my own Tahini. Thank you for the recipe! I have a lot of old favorites and tried-and-true recipes from this blog and the Love Real Food cookbook, but lately I’ve been trying to branch out, and I’m so glad I did for this salad! It was so good! I just made this salad, and it’s fantastic. My new favorite salad!!! off subject but kind of funny to see Hilltop ad here which is advertising steak dinner! I feel like you made this salad just for me. To be honest, my mouth is watering just thinking about it right now. Hadn’t tried this recipe because of the curly kale but I got two huge bunches in our new CSA this week. Very adaptable. Let me know which others you try! Yes! I am not sure what I did wrong with this, but the salad wasn’t one I’d make again.The dressing turned out extremely thick, a very heavy tahini taste, seemed unbalanced. Thank you. Thank you so much for reading and leaving such a nice comment! A belly rub for Cookie! Tada! It really inspires healthy eating and for someone that enjoys cooking, its very attainable. Add the chopped kale to a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of 1/2 a large lemon and a heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serves 1 . This salad and particularly the dressing looks amazing! Prepare the kale while the sweet potatoes are baking. I never thought about massaging kale! First, remove those tough ribs from the kale, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and massage it to minimize the poky factor and improve the flavor. Always have a jar of tahini on hand, and now a new dressing recipe! I know, it seems a bit weird at first, but it helps to make the leaves a bit more malleable and less bitter so you don’t have to fight them getting into your mouth (never a good look). Nothing else compares to those dark greens. I made your “Everything goes Kale Salad with Green Tahini Dressing” last night for my daughter’s 25 th birthday. To prepare the salad: Place the chopped kale in a large serving bowl. Those additions sound delicious. Enjoy friends! I appreciate you trying another recipe and review. If you want a real kick like Gav, spicy tahini also works! Making another batch tonight with smoke paprika in it. Massaging is key! Sprinkle it lightly with salt and massage it with your hands by scrunching up large handfuls at a time until it’s darker and more fragrant (this makes the kale more tasty and easier to eat). Whisk until blended. That looks so good. It marries beautifully with the kale. :). I forgot about this recipe until it got so hot here that heating up the kitchen to cook kale wasn’t an option. That variation sounds great, Lauren. This was great! Thanks for letting me be part of your (and Cookie’s) adventure. and the dressing is great. I made this salad tonight and both my husband and I loved it. Chickpeas offer some protein and up the hearty factor. I have to admit, I added a tablespoon more olive oil and tablespoon of ground mustard cause I didn’t have dijon and I love extra oil. It looked absolutely beautiful all mixed together, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying my half of it straight out of the big bowl I used to stir it all up. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/sauteed_kale_with_tahini_sauce Highly recommend doubling the quantities because you’ll want extra, trust me : ). Thank you so much for this recipe, I absolutely love it!!! The avocado and pepitas were so good with the dressing. Kale. This salad is super delicious! Use your hands to massage the kale and break down its texture a bit until the kale starts to soften and wilt, 3-5 minutes. I got so many compliments and my stepmom is now checking out your recipes. Thank you for sharing! I made the dressing and tossed it in my romaine Greek salad with tomatoes and feta. Loved the combo of sesame oil, tahini and lime. I added both olives and pepper rings, and the dressing is divine. This is what I came up with. In a medium-size bowl add all the dressing ingredients and whisk until fully combined and smooth. This for sure is a crowd-pleasing dressing that you can add to so many more dishes. I’m on a mission to change that. We are vegan so I used vegan feta instead of Parmesan. I stock up when I’m at the store. Just made this today and it is delicious! Thanks for the review, Enja. I could actually eat it as a meal and not feel gypped. I made this salad last night and it was so good!! Yes! I dream of this tahini dressing at least once a week :). Having 2 kids running around and working full time, simple and easy to follow is necessary. Not only is it delicious fresh, it keeps so beautifully with dressing on! Recently I’ve been eating quite a lot of soups and stews with deep and rich flavour. I also used pistachios instead of sunflower seeds. Perfect for the midsummer foodbox ‘what am I going to do with this kale’ blues. It is definitely a crowd pleaser. When I thought about making this recipe, I wanted the same deep flavours but I wanted to feel light and airy. Not all kale is created equally though. Kate, this salad is AMAZING! Toss well then adjust with more sauce if the salad seems dry — we like to be generous with the dressing. This salad is to be served at a party alongside several other dishes so I could leave the chickpeas out all together if they don’t add much flavor addition. Delicious and filling!
