Chopped Kale & Broccolini Salad w/ Lemon Tahini Dressing
This Chopped Kale Broccolini Salad has sweet apples and salty parmesan for a match made in heaven with incredible textures!
Hooooolyyyyyy cowwww. I cannot believe how much food I’ve consumed over the past five days. Why do I do this to myself? Why do we all do this? I’m not alone, right? I always have such high hopes going into Thanksgiving weekend. Hopes of having even the smallest bit of will power when it comes to mashed potatoes, chestnut herb stuffing, and sweet potato casserole. Or worse, those dark chocolate chunk oatmeal peanut butter cookies that I just HAD to have. Those are what really put me over the edge this time. I had to whip up my favorite Chopped Kale & Broccolini Salad!
The holiday madness had to stop! At least for a little while, until the rest of the holiday madness starts up again. Shall we talk about resetting for a moment? After I eat the amount of indulgent food that I did, my body is craving something fresh.
But I can’t just do straight leafy greens in a bowl. I need something heartier than that, and this salad is the perfect answer.
You know me and my salads. It’s all about the different textures for me. I’m obsessed with the chopped raw broccolini in this salad, and paired with the sweet apple and salty parmesan, it’s a match made in heaven.
So come on, let’s at least pretend like we’re gonna eat well for the rest of the year. At least it’ll taste good.
