Ingredients

  • 1 bunch curly green kale
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 cups radicchio chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated/shredded carrots
  • 2 apples chopped, granny smith, royal gala or honey crisp
  • 1 sweet pepper chopped
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/2 cup currants or raisins

Dressing

  • 1/3 cup tahini paste
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1-2 tbsp water to desired consistency optional
  • 1 fresh garlic clove minced
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Shaved parm optional

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!
