Instructions

Maple Tahini Dressing
    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine maple syrup, tahini and lime juice in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  2. Add salt, pepper and chili flakes and whisk to combine.
  3. Add olive oil and whisk until smooth. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Apple Kale Slaw
  1. Add slivered onion and chopped kale to a large bowl and toss with half the dressing. Let this sit so the kale starts softening while you finely chop your apples.
  2. Add in apples and most of cashews. Drizzle remaining dressing over top and toss to combine. Serve, garnishing the top with the remaining cashews.
