autumn kale salad

Yields1 Serving

Ingredients
for the salad...
 1 bunch curly kale, washed and shredded
 mild sprouts/shoots (such as broccoli, lentil, sunflower, or pea)
 4 medjool dates, pitted and sliced
 1 avocado, sliced
 2 dessert variety apples, sliced or diced
 1 cup red grapes, halved
 2 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds (salted or unsalted)
 juice of half a large lemon
for the dressing...
 2 tbsp tahini
 1 tbsp maple
 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
 1 tsp whole grain mustard
 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
 ⅛ tsp garlic granules
 ⅛ tsp cinnamon
 ⅛ tsp ginger
 1.50 tsp yellow miso paste (optional but adds great depth of flavor)
Preparation
1

Wash and shred the kale and add it to a salad bowl. Then add the lemon juice, and--with very clean (or even gloved if needed) hands--massage the lemon into the kale to help tenderize the leaves and infuse them with lemon flavor.

2

Add the remaining salad ingredients.

In a small separate bowl, whisk together the salad dressing ingredients until emulsified. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix until the salad ingredients are well-coated in dressing.
