Kale Salad with Grilled Chicken & Dijon Tahini Dressing

We grew kale all winter in one of our hoop houses and this spring it has really taken off. Sweet, tender and delicious. This salad highlights fresh radishes and tender chicken breasts that can be grilled in advance. It comes together in a flash and is tossed in a tangy dijon tahini dressing. Perfect served as a side with a cup of our Spring Greens Soup. I hope you all enjoy this salad as much as we do. Grab a fork!
