I call this Garbage bowl salad because I usually use whatever veggies are about to go bad or hanging out in my fridge. I make some version of this salad at lease once a week. I always use kale as the base and I simply use my box grater to shred the carrots and radishes. You can use any other hard veggie you have on hand such as celery, peppers or daikon. Feel free to swap dates for raisons, craisins or even dried cherries work well. The combination of kale, lemon and tahini tastes so good. This is such a versatile dressing to have on hand for salads. I like to make extra to keep on the fridge. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
