Kale-Broccoli Slaw

July 16, 2013

My neighbour gave me the inspiration for this salad. We were chatting about kale one day and she told me about this salad she'd been making. I arranged it to try and threw together my own version of it with my creamy dressing. My daughter and her friends and my inlaws all like it - that's gotta count for something.

Kale-Broccoli Slaw

4 cups green kale, cut into thin strips

2 cups broccoli florets and stems, chopped finely

1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped

1/3 cup pecan pieces

1/4 cup dried cranberries

Dressing

1/4 cup tahini

2 tbsp flax seed oil

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp agave nectar

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp dried tarragon

sea salt and pepper to taste

Combine kale, broccoli, green onion, pecans and cranberries in a large bowl.

In a glass measuring cup, combine tahini, flax oil, vinegar, agave nectar, garlic, tarragon, salt and pepper. Whisk together or blend with immersion blender. 

Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine - this slaw as with more other slaws - is even better the next day.
