Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water to thin dressing if needed
Instructions
- Combine your veggies: In a large bowl, place the chopped kale, drained chickpeas, grated carrot, diced cucumber, bell pepper, and sliced red onion. Toss them together, allowing the colors to mingle and pop.
- Create the dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. The dressing should be creamy; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water until you reach your desired consistency.

- Serve immediately: Enjoy this glowing dish straight away to preserve the crunchiness of the veggies and the vibrancy of the flavors.

Make-ahead tips: Prepare the dressing and chop the vegetables a day in advance and store separately for a quick meal the next day! Avoid overdressing the salad and remember to rinse the chickpeas for enhanced flavor.
