- To make the Salad:
- Wash and remove thick stems from Kale leaves.
- Chop Kale leaves into bite size pieces and add to a large salad bowl.
- Massage Kale leaves 1-2 minutes (this helps soften the leaves).

- Add in Radishes, Tomatoes, Carrots, and Almonds.
- To make the Dressing:
- Add Tahini, Lemon Juice, EVOO, Garlic, Salt, and Pepper to a food processor or high speed blender.
- Pulse or blend for about 30 seconds until it’s a dressing consistency.
- Pour dressing over salad and mix well.
- Enjoy!
