Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch chopped kale
  • 1/2 c. cannellini (white) beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 c. sourdough bread, cubed and toasted
  • 1/2 c. peas (we used frozen)
  • 1/2 c. walnuts, roughly chopped

Tahini Dressing

  • ¼ c. tahini paste
  • ¼ c. plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 T. honey
  • 1/4 c. lemon juice, fresh
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ¼1/3 cup water

Instructions

  1. Using a blender or immersion blend, blend all dressing ingredients minus the water.
  2. Check consistency and gradually add water to achieve a “pourable” dressing.
  3. Place the kale in a large bowl, pour in a bit of the dressing (to your preference) with a bit of salt. Using your hands, massage the kale with the dressing so that the coarse kale leaves become a bit tender.
  4. Toss white beans, peas, croutons and walnuts and let marinate together for 15-30 minutes.
  5. Prior to serving, toss with a bit more of your dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  6. It’s best if you let it sit at room temp for 20 (or more) minutes.
