This fresh and flavorful lentil salad by has a base of both lentils and kale, incorporates plenty more fresh vegetables, and adds a creative touch with dates, almonds and a homemade tahini dressing 🌱 This one-of-a-kind combination of flavors and textures will be sure to leave a lasting (and craveable!) impression 💚 Recipe below ⬇️

Lentil Salad with Tahini Dressing 🌿✨

🤍 Salad Ingredients
1 C lentils, measured uncooked
3 large kale leaves
1 C diced cucumber
1 C diced tomatoes
½ C grated carrots
⅓ C diced red onion
¼ C pitted and chopped dates
⅛ C sliced almonds
1 clove minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

🤍 Tahini Dressing Ingredients
1 C tahini
¾ C water
½ C lemon juice
⅛ C maple syrup
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp salt
⅛ tsp pepper

🤍 Instructions
1. Rinse the uncooked lentils, then add to a pot with 3 C water over high heat on the stove. Once boiling, turn the heat to low and cover, allowing them to simmer for about 15 minutes or until they’re tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water and set aside in a large mixing bowl that you will add the rest of your salad to. Allowing the lentils time to cool is helpful but not necessary.
2. Make tahini dressing by combining all dressing ingredients in a blender and blending until very smooth, adding more water as needed to reach a thin consistency. Transfer to a separate container and keep in the refrigerator until your salad is done.
3. Rinse and tear kale leaves from their stems. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place in a separate large bowl. Pour a couple tablespoons of lemon juice on the kale and massage it with your hands until soft. Add a generous amount of salt and pepper and toss
together.
4. Add the kale to the bowl with the lentils, along with the cucumber, tomato, onion, carrots, garlic, dates and sliced almonds and toss everything together well.
5. Retrieve your tahini dressing from the refrigerator and drizzle your desired amount (not all of
it!) on the salad.
6. Mix the dressing with the salad until everything is incorporated. Keep chilled in the refrigerator
until ready to serve.
