Kale Avocado Pear Salad

Hello! So I've recently subscribed to Organics Live - this is a service that delivers a box of organic fruits and vegetables to your door each week! I got my first box this week and it was SO exciting. This salad was inspired by the box and the ingredients used all came from the box (aside from the ingredients for the dressing). This salad is really filling and just oh-so scrumptious. Sweet and savoury ingredients are brought out by the dressing - one of my favourite go-to dressings: Lemon Tahini! It sounds and tastes very fancy but can be whipped up in a snap.

Kale Avocado Pear Salad w/ Lemon Tahini Dressing

Ingredients:

For the salad:

1/2 bunch red kale (green kale works too!)
1 green pear
1/2 avocado (or a full one if you're feeling wild)
2 tbsp cranberries
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds

For the dressing: (This makes enough for a single serving)

1 tbsp tahini
2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh is always better!)
1/2 tbsp olive oil
A dash of salt and a pinch of pepper

Directions:

1. Start by de-stemming your kale and tossing it into a large bowl.
2. Chop your pear and avocado and toss in the bowl.
3. The cranberries and pumpkin seeds : toss 'em in too.
4. In a smaller bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper and whisk them together until smooth and creamy.
5. Mix the dressing in with the fruits and veggies then presto! A nice winter to spring transition salad.

Keep it zesty, folks.
