    Simple Kale Salad with Turmeric Tahini Dressing. - This simple kale salad is made using autumn produce and a delicious turmeric tahini dressing. It's perfect to eat on the go!

    Since kale is so popular here in Spain, I've been obsessed with it and I eat it almost every day! I used to eat spinach very often, but now kale is my favorite leafy green. It's so nutritious, lasts longer, tastes amazing and is perfect to make salads, especially to eat on the go, because kale don't go soggy unlike other greens.

    We shared with you this awesome oil-free rainbow kale salad, but I wanted to make a salad using autumn produce and also try my delicious tahini dressing using extra virgin olive oil and turmeric as well. OMG! It's the best dressing ever, has anti-inflammatory properties and is sooo beautiful!

    Tips:

    • Pecans are expensive and hard to find in some countries, but don't worry, any other nuts are also fine.
    • Feel free to use other leafy greens, fruits or ingredients you like.
    • To make the dressing you don't need to use tahini and oil, use only one kind of fat to keep it simple.
    • Nutritional yeast is optional, but it tastes amazing, is so healthy and makes the dressing even creamier.

      Hi Iosune!
      I'm very happy to find your blog. I am also Spanish, and I want to eat more kale because its awesome benefits according to some books. But when I look at the translator, or even wikipedia, it translates it as: "col rizada" which in the supermarkets isn't what appears in the photo.
      I understand kale is Brassica oleracea var. sabellica L. and here in Catalonia is called "col verde".
      What's the name you know in Spanish? Can you point me to some place to buy it?
      Thank you!!

        I just saw your blog in Spanish... I will ask there again, as I guess my question doesn't interest English readers too much XD.

          Hi Sergi! I'm so sorry, but I didn't read the comment. It's called kale or col rizada. I usually buy it at Mercadona 🙂
