Instructions
Creating this Kale Salad with Roasted Vegetables, Lentils and Tahini Dressing is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet.
3. Season the Vegetables: Drizzle vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven, roasting for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
5. Wash and Tear Kale: While the vegetables roast, wash the kale thoroughly. Tear the leaves into smaller pieces, discarding the stems.
6. Cook Lentils: If you’re using raw lentils, cook them according to package instructions. Make sure they are tender but not mushy.
7. Prepare Tahini Dressing: In a small bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a bit of water to reach the desired consistency.
8. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the kale, cooked lentils, and roasted vegetables. Drizzle with the tahini dressing.
9. Toss the Salad: Gently combine all ingredients, making sure that the dressing evenly coats the kale and vegetables.
