Purple Potato and Kale Salad with Cilantro-Tahini Dressing

Purple Potato and Kale Salad with Cilantro-Tahini Dressing

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • piece small purple potatoes
  • cup kale, chopped
  • cup tomatoes, chopped
  • teaspoon lime juice
  • cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
  • clove garlic, peeled and chopped
  • cup tahini
  • teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool. Once cooled, peel if desired and cut into ½-inch cubes.
  2. Place the kale and tomatoes in a skillet or saucepan and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the kale has softened slightly. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan. Add ¼ teaspoon lime juice and let cool.
  3. In a blender, combine the cilantro, garlic, tahini, salt, cayenne pepper, remaining lime juice, and 2 tablespoons water. Blend until smooth.
  4. To serve, prepare a bed of the cooked kale and tomatoes in a large salad bowl, top with the boiled potatoes, and spoon the salad dressing over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

    Note: If you’d like an especially pretty salad, peel the potatoes; with the skins left on, the potatoes will be a bit harder to cut neatly but will still taste great.
