Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale chopped
- 1 large honeycrisp apple diced
- ⅔ cup wild rice cooked
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas rinsed and drained
- ⅓ cup golden raisins
- ⅓ cup hemp seeds
- ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds
Vegan Green Goddess Dressing (makes a bit more than needed for this recipe)
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1 lemon juiced
- ¾ cups fresh cilantro leaves and stems
- ¾ cups fresh parsley leaves and stems
- ½ cup fresh dill leaves and stems
- 1 green onion chopped
- 1 garlic cloves
- 3 tbps-½ cup water depending on how thick you'd like it
- ½ salt
Instructions
- Prepare your rice as instructed on package, this will take the longest amount of time.
- Chop your kale and apple then add it to a bowl with the rinsed and drained chickpeas, golden raisins, hemp seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
- To prepare your dressing, rinse all of your fresh herbs then add them to a blender along with your tahini, chopped green onion, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Add in ⅓ cup water to start. Then blend until incorporated. You can add more water until you reach your desired thickness.
- Once the rice is done, add it to your bowl filled with kale then top with your dressing and enjoy!
- Storage: The can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days (that's when I started to be a bit more soggy). I would recommend storing everything except the dressing in 1 container (can be stored for up to 5 days in the fridge) then your dressing in another container. The dressing can be stored for up to 5 days in the fridge or 2-4 months in the freezer. I like putting some of the dressing in freezer cubes to have many servings of dressings ready!
