Looking for a great salad recipe? Kale yeah? This colorful Kale and Carrot salad is full of fresh flavors and topped off with a creamy tahini dressing. A great way to get some fresh veggies in this winter!
Kale is in season and the reason why all us health nuts go wild for kale is due to its versatility in recipes and it’s nutritional benefits.
One of the best things about kale is that it can be eaten cooked or raw. So if you’re craving some fresh veggies and you’re feeling all winter-souped-out, a kale salad is just what you need.
The health benefits of kale
Kale contains things like fiber, antioxidants, calcium, and vitamin K. It’s also a great source of vitamin C and iron, which will really help keep your immune system in fighting mode this winter.
Feel free to add whatever fresh, seasonal veggies you have on hand. I really like the combination of the fresh, earthy flavors of the kale paired with the sweetness and crunch of the raw carrot.
The addition of the dried currants and toasted pine nuts gives some really pleasant textures and of course they add their unique flavors to the mix.
Don’t forget to make the tahini dressing to go with this. It really is the cherry on the top!
