Some tahini here, some lemon there, and kale everywhere!


Had some friends over for dinner and was going on an Asian theme.  Was making some stir-fry like chicken dish and was looking for a salad to go with it.  I found a great Cooking Light recipe to pair with it based on a whole page of kale salad ideas they had.

I went with the Tahini-Lemon Dressing — quick, easy and refreshing!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon tahini
2 teaspoons lower-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 cups thinly sliced stemmed Lacinato kale
3/4 cup cooked quinoa (I did not include this)

Prep:
Combine water, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, soy sauce, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Add kale (and cooked quinoa; toss) — I did this in a more normal salad way.  After making the dressing, I dressed the salad/kale.
