Instructions
- Tear your kale into large bite sized pieces and remove the thick stems and discard them. Rinse thoroughly and then add to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon juice on top and massage the kale with your hands for 2-3 minutes. This will gently wilt and soften the kale.
- Add the chickpeas and hemp hearts to the same bowl and set aside.
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly to combine. Then pour the dressing on your salad and mix well to evenly distribute.
- Garnish with the orange segments and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure to massage the kale. Don't skip this step. It only takes 2-3 minutes of time and the results are well worth the effort.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the absolute best flavour.
- If you don't have apple cider vinegar, sub for white wine vinegar or white balsamic with similar results.
- Leftovers keep refrigerated for 1-2 days.
