Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Salad

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in halves
• 1 can chickpeas rinsed-drained and dried
• 1/4 cup red onion diced
• 1 red bell pepper diced
• 1 seedless cucumber diced
• 1 tb fresh mint chopped
• 1 tb fresh parsley chopped
• 1 bunch lactino kale stem removed, leaves chopped
• 1 tb olive oil (I like Kasandrinos)
• sea salt

Dressing

• 3/4 cup creamy tahini
• 2 tb lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic finely diced
• 2 tb olive oil (I like Kasandrinos)
• 2 tsp manuka honey or maple syrup
• 3/4 cup water
• sea salt

Instructions

 

• Chop all of the ingredients and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Toss the salad with 1 tablespoon of good olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. This will help soften the kale.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk everything for the dressing together except the water and salt. The dressing will be thick at this point.
• Start to gradually drizzle in the water and whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste for seasoning and add a pinch of sea salt.
• Drizzle desired about of dressing over your salad portion. Enjoy!
