Rainbow Kale Salad with Miso Tahini Dressing
(Makes about 10 cups)

Ingredients:

For the dressing: (You will have leftovers – this makes about 500mL)

300g soft tofu
¼ cup tahini
¼ cup + 1 tbsp miso
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup hemp seeds
juice of 1 large lemon

For the rest:

5 cups kale, chopped, rough stems removed
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups shredded purple cabbage
1 large carrot, shredded
2 cups cooked chickpeas
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
3/4 cup sliced radishes
1/3 cup pepitas
1/3 cup slivered almonds

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a blender or food processor and whirl until completely smooth. Add a bit of extra lemon juice to thin if desired, then set aside.
Wash and chop the kale, removing the thick stems. In a large bowl, drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the kale and massage it for a few minutes with your hands, as if you were kneading dough.
Prepare the cabbage and carrot as directed above and add them to the kale. Pour about 1/4 cup of dressing into the bowl and continue massaging with your hands, further softening the kale.
Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl, along with a bit more dressing. Toss to coat, then serve.
