A perfect salad for those who are trying to recover from the excesses of the holidays. Fresh, light and crunchy, it makes a delicious appetizer or side dish – and it’s great for lunch the next day. To turn it into a main course, just add the protein of your choice (legumes, nuts, smoked tofu, etc.).

Steps

  1. Combine all salad ingredients in a big bowl.

  2. Mix all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Add to salad and mix well. To soften kale, massage with dressing.

  3. Serve.

Recommendations

Tip: It’s important to massage the kale with your hands to soften it. The kale will turn a very dark green and be easier to chew.

Note: The salad will keep for about 3 days in the fridge.
