12 - 45 ml raw pumpkin seeds (optional) or chopped cashews

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, harissa blend, and maple syrup until smooth. Add grated garlic, 15 ml water, and salt; whisk again. Adjust consistency with additional water if needed.
02 - Pour half of the dressing onto the kale leaves and rub thoroughly to soften. Stack the kale and slice into thin ribbons.
03 - In a large bowl, mix the massaged kale, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped apricots. Pour remaining dressing over and toss well to coat.
04 - Refrigerate the mixture for 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to develop. Garnish with pumpkin seeds or chosen nuts before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Massaging kale tenderizes it, improving texture and flavor absorption.
02 - Adjust water quantity in dressing to achieve your preferred consistency.
