Katie Hason says:

Love this yummy kale salad with fresh crisp apples! The tahini dressing is also a favorite, I put it on everything. Perfect for lunch, or served for dinner with sliced chicken breast.

Greg Jones says:

The tahini dressing was the perfect pairing for this simple kale and apple salad. The sesame seeds were nice for topping, I liked the added crunch, it was perfect for the overall texture and balance of this dish.

Chaz Norwood says:

Made this salad with spinach instead of kale, and added sliced grilled chicken I had leftover from the night before. It was the perfect lunch for work.
