Add the kale to a large salad bowl and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. With clean hands massage the oil and salt into the kale until it is tender.
Next, to the bowl of kale, add the radishes, olives, cabbage, cooled rice, beans, pistachios and dill. Pour the dressing over the top and toss until all is well combined.
