Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 2 cups chopped kale washed and de-stemmed
  • 1/2 cup walnuts toasted
  • 1 large carrot shredded
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed

For the dressing

  • Olive oil
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • Touch of vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash and de-stem the kale leaves, then finely chop. Massage the kale with olive oil using your hands until it’s soft and tender.
  • Toast the walnuts by chopping them into smaller pieces and lightly roasting them in a dry pan on medium heat for a few minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  • Add the toasted walnuts to the kale along with the shredded carrot, green onions, and chickpeas.
  • In a small pan, heat olive oil and add the crushed garlic. Stir in the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown and crispy.
  • Add the toasted breadcrumbs and crumbled feta to the salad.
  • Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss to combine.
  • Optional: Top with sliced avocado and grilled chicken for extra protein! Enjoy!! xx
