Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • ¼ cup Tahini I use Artisana Organics
  • ¼ cup Avocado Mayo I use Chosen Foods
  • 12 tablespoon Olive oil
  • ½ Lemon juiced
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fish sauce I use Red Boat
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon Water
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper

Salad

  • 2 cups Kale
  • 1 can Garbanzo beans

Instructions
 

  • Drain and rinse a can of garbanzo beans. Put the beans in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until crispy. You can also roast them in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
  • Combine all of the dressing ingredients into a mason jar or bowl and whisk until smooth. Slowly add more water if you want a thinner consistency.
  • Divide the kale into two bowls and top with the dressing and crispy garbanzo beans. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To make this salad Whole30, all you need to do is sub the garbanzo beans for something else crunchy! My go-to is pine nuts or any sort of nut.
  • Like I mentioned, fish sauce is vital to this recipe, but if you are trying to make this plant based, you can substitute capers and a teaspoon of the caper brine.
  • This dressing gets thick in the fridge overnight, if you want it a bit looser, you can just add a teaspoon of water the next day and mix it up.
  • My favorite tahini is from Artisana Organics because it is the perfect consistency, but you can use any that you like.
