Ingredients

Servings

Lemon Tahini Dressing

  • 4 tablespoon tahini preferably homemade
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste, fresh
  • black pepper to taste, fresh

Salad

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 2 bunches kale curly or dino, stems removed and torn into bit sizes pieces
  • ½ cup raisins or dried cranberries
  • 1 apple cut into thin slices
  • Parmesan Cheese for serving, shaved
  • sea salt for serving, fresh
  • black pepper for serving, fresh

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Then, in a small bowl toss the pecans and honey until well mixed. Place the pecans onto a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Let the pecans cool completely before handling.
  2. While the pecans are baking prepare the dressing, combine all dressing ingredients and whisk until well combined.
  3. Toss the chopped kale with the dressing and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Plate the kale and top with raisins, apple slices, honey-roasted pecans, shaved parmesan, and some sea salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Kale can sit in the dressing for up to a day after, making this a great make-ahead recipe or leftovers. Just be sure to separate the honey-roasted pecans because they will get soggy.
  • Double (or triple) the honey-roasted pecans for snacking :)
