The trick here is massaging the kale in olive oil in a ziploc baggie for about 5 minutes. Oh and this recipe is mostly about the dressing–the salad itself is pretty basic. Be creative.

• 1 bunch of kale
• 2 T olive oil
• pepitas or walnuts
• scallions
• shredded carrot
• grape tomatoes
• celery
• 2 T tahini
• 1 T olive oil
• 1-2 T balsamic vinegar
• a squirt of sriracha
• 1 T barbecue sauce 
• shredded parmesan cheese

This one of those “throw everything into a bowl and toss” salads. Be creative with the ingredients–other veggies, such as spinach, snap peas, broccoli slaw etc would work well too.

dressing: whisk up all of the ingredients. Add more olive oil or a drizzle of water if it’s too thick.
