Ingredients
For the dressing:
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons harissa dried blend
- 4 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 large clove garlic grated
- 2 to 3 tablespoons water for consistency
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt fine sea salt
For the slaw:
- 1 bunch kale thick stems removed
- 6 cups cabbage I used half small head each red and green cabbage, shredded, green or red
- 2 large carrot peeled and shredded
- 15 dried apricot or more to taste, unsulphured, chopped
- ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds or chopped cashews, raw, optional
Instructions
- Combine the tahini, lemon juice, harissa, and maple syrup in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon of water, and the salt, and whisk again. For a thinner consistency add another tablespoon of water.
- Spoon about half of the dressing onto the kale leaves. Rub the dressing into the leaves to massage and soften the kale. Now stack the kale on your cutting board and slice into thin ribbons.
- In a large bowl combine the kale, cabbage, carrot, and apricots. Pour the remaining dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to mingle. Before serving, garnish with pumpkin seeds.
