Instructions
- Wash kale, de-stem and cut into chunks. Place in a large salad bowl, drizzle with olive oil and pinch of salt. Massage with hands for a few minutes.
- Add chopped radicchio, carrots, apple, sweet pepper and green onions. Toss together.
- In a small bowl, make the dressing. Combine the tahini, lemon and olive oil. Whisk with a wire whisk for best results. You'll notice it starts to thicken and then thins out again when you add a touch of water to desired consistency. The water is only necessary if the dressing is too thick. But that all depends how thick the tahini is that you're using.
- Add garlic and sea salt. Set aside.
- Drizzle dressing over top of salad and toss. Top with almonds, currants and parm if using.
- If you don't plan on eating it right away, place in fridge undressed. Add dressing just before serving.
- Keep in fridge overnight and eat within a day. The curly kale holds it's shape really well!
