Instructions

  • Strip kale from the tough stems and chop into bite sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, sprinkle kale with a little salt, a drizzle of olive oil and a little squeeze of lemon.
  • With very clean hands, massage kale until the fibers break down and it becomes soft. About 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together tahini, garlic, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup and olive oil.
