Kale and Apple Salad with Tahini Dressing
Looking for new salad ideas? This one is easy to make, full of fiber and (I daresay) tastes really good due to the mix of flavors and textures.
Kale and Apple Salad with Tahini Dressing
Ingredients:
- Kale
- 1 medium apple
Salad Dressing Ingredients:
- 1 jar sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Salad Directions:
Wash kale and put into salad bowl. Wash and cut up 1 medium apple and mix with the kale.
Tahini Dressing Directions:
Toast 1 container sesame seeds over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn brown. 
Put in food processor and add 1/4 cup olive oil. Blend. For thicker dressing reduce amount of olive oil and for thinner dressing add more.
I only use 1 TBSP of dressing on my salad because even though seeds and olive oil are healthy fats, they are still fats and calorie dense. The rest of the dressing can put stored in the fridge in Tupperware. I usually finish the dressing in about a week.
Kale can be bitter but the sweetness of the apple counters that and the tahini adds a nutty flavor to it.
Enjoy!
