Raw Kale Salad With Tahini Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 -4 cups raw kale, finely chopped
1/2 - 1 apple, chopped (I used fuji)
1/4 cup craisins (or more to taste)
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)
1/4 - 1/2 cup carrot, grated (I chopped mine in the food processor)
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped (or sliced thin)
1/2 cup edamame beans (can also use garbanzo beans-optional)
1/4 cup mixed sprouts (of choice-optional-I used clover)
Tahini Dressing
1/3 cup tahini (well stirred)
1/3 cup water (more or less depending on how thin you want your dressing)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (may add a little more to taste)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon honey (more or less to taste, may use other sweeteners)

Preparation

Place all the chopped and grated veggies, nuts, and sprouts in a large bowl. Add the edamame beans and/or garbanzo beans, if using.
Place tahini, water(start with less water and add more to get to desired consistency), lemon juice, garlic, salt and honey in food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. This makes about 1 cup.
