Kale and Red Pepper Salad with Garlic-Tahini Dressing

I just made this for lunch and had to share. It was inspired by the Tunisian Kale Salad in Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Diet, I created my own variation here.

*note: I do not really measure when making salads, so everything is an approximation and can be adjusted to your preference.

serves approx. 2

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1-2 cups kale, de-vined
  • 1/2 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup pea shoots, chopped (you can get these at Trader Joes or use other spout-like variations)
  • cilantro, chopped
  • basil, chopped
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • handful of sunflower seeds
For the Dressing:
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1 heaping tbsp nutritional yeast
  • olive oil and water (use as much or as little of each as you like)
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • agave, to taste
  • ginger
  • cayenne
  • garlic salt

Instructions

Combine all the veggies in a big bowl.

Combine all the dressing ingredients.  Depending on how liquid, oil-based or water-based you prefer your dressing, use as much or as little oil/water combination as you like.

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently coat.
