A quick and delicious massaged kale salad. Topped with a creamy tahini dressing, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and briny feta cheese.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Lemon tahini dressing

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salad ingredients

  • 4 cups chopped kale (washed and de-ribbed)
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/3 cup crumbled cheese

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: Add all ingredients to a jar, close the lid, and shake until a smooth dressing forms. 
  2. Massage the kale: Add the kale to a large mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons of the tahini dressing. Use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale.
  3. Assemble the salad: Arrange the kale on a platter or onto individual plates. Top with tomatoes and cucumbers. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad. Top with the feta cheese.

Notes

Serve with a baguette and butter.

Make it vegan: Replace the honey in the dressing with maple syrup. Then, omit the feta or replace it with a vegan feta substitute.

Add a protein: I’ve got the perfect easy grilled chicken recipe for this. Salmon or tempeh are other great options.
