¼ cup hulled sesame seeds
pinch black pepper
daikon radish, carrot, dill and pomegranate seeds for garnishing

Combine kale, cabbage and carrots together in a bowl, add lemon juice and salt, and massage with your hands lightly until the kale leaves start to look wilted. Add oil, sesame seeds and black pepper, and mix well with a spoon. Transfer to a serving bowl. For a special holiday garnish, you can make a candle out of daikon radish, attach a flame made out of carrot (held in place with a toothpick), and place some dill sprigs around the candle, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds and daikon “stars”.
