Bitter Greens Salad with Sesame Dressing

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 ounces kale, stems removed, torn into bite sized pieces
  • 3 ounces turnip greens, stems removed, torn into bite sized pieces
  • 2 ounces baby arugula
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, water, sesame oil, soy sauce, and vinegar until smooth. Add salt and pepper, tasting as you go.
  2. Place the kale and turnip greens in a large bowl, then pour in 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Work the greens gently with your hands until they start to soften and relax, about 5 minutes. Move the bowl to the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 10 minutes and as long as 1 hour.
  3. When you are ready to serve, add the arugula along with the rest of the dressing. Toss everything well, adjust with salt and pepper to taste, fold in the onions, and bring it to the table.
