For slaw

  • 1 bunch kale, ribs removed, leaves chopped

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

For dressing

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain msutard
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Drizzle the dressing into the slaw, tossing to combine.

Notes

The slaw is best the day you make it. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. It will still taste good, but the kale will soften. You can repurpose leftovers in grain bowls or as a base for a salad.
Leftovers will keep better if you haven’t tossed them with the dressing. Store leftover dressing in a separate airtight container. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before tossing it with the slaw.
