Kale, carrot and lupini bean salad with creamy sesame soy dressing

This is a great substitute for coleslaw! Dress the salad an hour before serving to let the kale marinate and the flavors blend together.



The dressing is tangy and sweet, and the salad is full of antioxidants!



Ingredients:

For salad
4 cups kale
1 grated carrot
1 cup lupini beans, canned
1/2 cup sultana raisins

For dressing
1 avocado
1/2 cup silken tofu
1 tbsp soy sauce
 1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 clove garlic
1 cup water

Directions:

1) Tear kale and mix in bowl with carrot, lupini beans, and raisins

Use whatever kale is in season. I just used what I had from my garden: purple peacock!

2) To make dressing, put all ingredients in blender except water. Blend on high, adding water as needed. The mixture should be creamy and pale green.

Feel free to add more or less water, depending on how thick you like your dressing



3) Dress the salad and toss well!
