This salad is proof that eating healthy can be delicious! Kale serves as a bed for freshly sliced pears, juicy pomegranate seeds, and crunchy pecans. Drizzled on top is a deliciously creamy dressing flavored with maple syrup and tahini.
Ingredients
Scale
For the salad:
- 2 bunches kale, destemmed and torn into bite sized pieces
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 pears, thinly sliced
- 1 cup roughly chopped pecans
- 5 scallions, sliced on a bias
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 ice cube and 1 tablespoon ice water
- 1 tablespoon mellow white miso
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- 1 clove garlic, minced)
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Add all the dressing ingredient into a bowl and whisk until the ice melts and everything is well combined. Tahini tends to get thick and gloopy when combined with room temperature water, but ice water makes for a creamy dressing with the perfect pourable consistancy.
- Add your kale to a large bowl along with the lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Massage the kale with your hands until it has softened, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the dressing over the kale and add in the remaining ingredients. Toss well and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days.
