    Used some beautiful red kale from the Union Square greenmarket. Subbed a shallot for the green onion, and peanuts instead of almonds. Fabulous and complex flavors.

    Very tasty treatment of ingredients for a kale salad. I massaged my kale with olive oil so used less of it in the dressing. We liked the fresh lime juice as a base for sesame oil, tahini and olive oil in the dressing.

    We loved this salad! Based on earlier comments I added an extra teaspoon of lime juice to offset the sweetness. I had also just watched a cooking show on public TV where the chef highly recommended "massaging" the kale for kale salads with a bit of olive oil and citrus so I put the olive oil and lime juice on the kale in the bowl first and gave it a nice massage. Then I mixed the rest of the dressing ingredients together and tossed it well.

    I've now also made this with pomegranate arils in place of the dates - delicious! In that version, I left out the scallions altogether.

    Added baked tofu for a hearty lunch. Great dressing, but prefer a lot less honey and more lemon juice. Thinned to the right consistency, it would be a nice dip for veggies (jicama?).

    I had almost everything for this salad in the house (except the green onions, which I omitted), so it was easy to whip up on the spot. Dressing is delicious, though definitely not enough for a whole bunch of kale, at least not the size at my supermarket... I used a bit less than half the bunch, maybe ~4 cups chopped, with the full amount of all other ingredients. Used extra lemon juice instead of water to thin the dressing, as suggested in the intro. Salad kept well until the next day's lunch, even dressed and mixed.

    This is a delicious dressing for kale. I made the salad without the spring onions, and found the mix of flavors just right, especially the little bit of sweetness from the chopped dates. Perfect for winter, it only takes about ten minutes to throw together.
