2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2tbsp tahini

Juice 1⁄2 an orange or clementine
1 Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan) mark 5. Scatter the roasted vegetables on a baking tray and reheat for 10min.
2 Meanwhile, in a small jug, mix the dressing ingredients and season to taste.
3 Put kale into a large bowl with 1⁄2 the dressing and mix well. Set aside for 5-10min (this will help tenderise
