In a large glass bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk together, being sure sugar and salt are dissolved.  Thin slice the sprouts and combine with the chopped kale - then massage them, breaking down the fibrousness a bit, for several minutes.  Put this and sliced or chopped onion, into the bowl.  Add thin julienne slices of the carrot and radish slices.  Next rough-chop the almonds, and add them as well.  Toss, cover and chill for a couple hours.  Just before serving, add the crushed sesame seeds and toasted-dried shallots, toss again and serve. . .Lin
