Preparation

Step 1

1. Stack 8 kale leaves, and roll into tight cylinder. Slice into thin strips. Repeat with remaining kale. Transfer to large bowl.

2. Blend 1/3 cup water, lemon juice, oil, tahini, Bragg Liquid Aminos (if using), garlic, and honey (if using) in blender or food processor until smooth. (You’ll have about 1 cup dressing.) Toss kale with 3/4 cup dressing, more if using any add-ins. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
