Wash and dry all the vegetables thoroughly.
De-stem the kale and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Add a pinch of salt to the kale and massage it with your hands for 1-2 minutes until it softens slightly.
Add the shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped broccoli, diced cucumber, and chopped parsley to the salad bowl with the kale.
Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds over the mixed vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
