Parmesan Tahini Kale Salad
A nutrient-dense and creamy salad featuring massaged kale coated in a nutty tahini dressing and plenty of savory parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large bunch Curly Kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, finely grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1-2 tablespoons cold Water
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the chopped kale leaves.
- Place kale in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Massage the kale with your hands for 3-5 minutes until it becomes soft, dark green, and reduced in volume.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, honey, and the remaining olive oil.
- Slowly whisk in cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is creamy and pourable.
- Pour the dressing over the kale and add the finely grated parmesan cheese.
- Toss thoroughly to ensure every leaf is well coated and serve.
Notes
- The massage step is crucial for removing bitterness and softening the kale.
- Use a microplane for the parmesan to get a light, fluffy texture.
- This salad stays fresh for up to 3 days in the fridge.
