Happy January, friends! ‘Tis the season for salads, smoothies, and detox soups...right? This kale salad is the perfect vegetable dish to pull you out of the post-holiday slump. It’s inspired by a salad I had when I was visiting Chicago last month. It’s so simple - just chopped boiled eggs, parmesan, roasted pumpkin seeds, and kale, all dressed in a super easy, oil-free lemon tahini dressing. It keeps so well in the fridge in a stasher bag (kale is so sturdy and resilient!) and is a great recipe to make at the beginning of the week to have available for lunches or a side to dinner.
