Kale and Cucumber Salad

I can't fully express my excitement for the approaching growing season (all this snow business is making the itch even worse), so I've been racking my brain for Farmer's Market recipe ideas. Here's a great one I'd like to post, and thank Kelcie Douglas for.

Kale and Cuke Salad

Ingredients:
1-2 bunches of kale, coarsely chopped
1-2 cucumbers, finely diced
1-2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 red onion, chopped
Raw tahini dressing: 3 tbsp tahini, 3 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/8 tsp cumin 1/8 tsp coriander, 1 clove garlic minced, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lemon juice, honey to sweeten, water to dilute

Directions: Combine veggies in a large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Mix together and enjoy.

Easy as pie!


Kale is a delicious crunchy superfood high in vitamins K, A, and C. These vitamins protect immune function, help proper blood clotting, and protect vision and bone growth. Kale is known to be protective against breast, colon, bladder, ovary, and prostate cancer, and aids in the body's detoxification process. Kale is also great for treating constipation.

If you've not tried kale before, give it a try!
