Win over the most skeptical of kale crowds with this protein rich salad. It's a wonderful recipe for your next potluck or bbq. It's always nice to have fresh vegetables amidst a sea of meat and cheese platters, pastas, snacks, and desserts. I mean, I'm not complaining about all the goodies we eat during times of celebration. Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that it's always nice to have a little something fresh and nutrient-rich to add to your plate. Added bonus for the chef, if there are any leftovers this holds well for a simple, complete meal the following day.

Tahini, made from sesame seeds, can have a slightly bitter flavor. There's a time and a place for such boldness. For those times when you are looking for a bit less bite, try this maple tahini combination. It slightly sweetens giving the tahini a whole new life of its own. Try on salads, roasted vegetables, sweet potato, or grain bowls.
