This salad is good as a side dish or to just enjoy with a slice of toast.

• 15 oz (425 g) can of white beans or garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
• 2-3 lemons juiced, 6-7 T juice
• 10 oz (300 g), (1 big bunch) chopped kale (large stems removed)
• 3 T maple syrup or agave
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/3 cup tahini
• 2-3 T chopped parsley
• salt, pepper and olive oil

A: Prepare the beans: in a small bowl, combine drained beans, 1 T lemon juice, 1 T olive oil, 1/2 t salt and the chopped parsley.

B: Prepare the kale: in a large bowl, combine kale, 2 T lemon juice, 1 T olive oil, 1 T maple syrup or agave, pinch each of salt and pepper, 1 garlic clove, minced. Use hands to massage the kale to break down its texture a bit, and to season the salad.

C: Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, combine tahini,, 1 garlic clove, minced, 3-4 T lemon juice, 2 T maple syrup or agave, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Add hot water if needed to make it easier to pour. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
