Fall Inspired Kale Salad

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups of finely chopped kale

• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa

• 1/2 cup roasted chickpeas (or use tofu, I used smoked paprika, garlic powder & salt to season chickpeas)

• 1 small red gala apple (diced)

• 1 tbsp dried cranberries (unsweetened or sweetened)

• 1 tbsp (about 15 grams) Vegan feta cheese (optional but highly recommend it!)

• For Salad Dressing:

• *1.5 tbsp Tahini (or use balsamic vinegar to decrease FAT!)

• 1 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce (Trust me, this adds ton of flavor and thickness to the sauce!)

• 2 tsp maple syrup

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 1-2 tbsp water (+/- per consistency)

• salt per taste
