Vibrant kale salad packed with raw vegetables, walnuts, and raisins topped with an oil-free miso tahini dressing. Enjoy for a quick and fresh lunch!
Are you ready to get KRAZY, friends?
If you’re thinking, ugh, not another summer salad….just wait.
This Raw Krazy Kale Salad with Miso Tahini Dressing will totally inspire you to mix up your obligatory lunch bowl of greens.
The mixture of crunchy raw veg, creamy walnuts, sweet plump raisins with a savory miso tahini is about as wild as my summer days get lately.
This salad is packed with raw veggies you probably already have in your fridge somewhere, so dig them out and allow them to shine.
Wanna join in on the fun?
I love using raw veggies in meals where I can because it cuts down on the prep time and allows you to enjoy the vibrant taste and color of veggies in their natural state!
Hey, gorgeous rainbow veggies.
You look ravishing in that miso tahini.
I chose red cabbage, shredded carrots, and raw rainbow beet for my veggies, but feel free to add whatever you have on hand in the fridge.
Pro tip: Chopping the raw veggies finely will make them easier to chew and enjoy.
This salad does take some time to chew, so it’s the perfect time to work on that mindful eating while you savor each bite.
Try it.
It’s pretty much impossible not to think about your next krazy crunchy bite!
Let’s talk about raisins and walnuts.
I’ve always thought of them as trail mix ingredients.
Perfect for snacking, yes, but not something that pops into my head when I’m absent-mindedly assembling my lunch bowls.
I’m so glad I got over that, because adding them takes this bowl to new levels of texture and taste.
As a general rule of thumb, I like my dried fruit and nuts to only have one ingredients on the back.
Dried fruit, if it’s fruit, or nuts, if it’s nuts.
For raisins, check your ingredients to make sure there are no added oils and sugars.
Chop up this raw salad for bright and easy workweek lunches.
I like to wash and chop all of my veggies in advance to throw into Krazy Kale Salads all week.
Try adding chickpeas or quinoa to the mix for even more protein.
You can sub any dried fruit for the raisins and any nuts for the walnuts for different variations.
Enjoy!

I just posted this comment and I meant to give it 5 stars. I don’t think my stars went through. “I just made this salad for lunch today. It is so so so GOOD!!!! I used Lacinato Kale. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I can’t wait to eat it tomorrow for lunch! :)”
