First up, I have to pay credit where it’s due and give a shout-out to the most amazing salad chef I know, Hetty McKinnon, who’s deconstructed falafel salad recipe from her book ‘Family’ has inspired this one. I LOVE all of Hetty’s recipes, and a few of her tricks have become part of my own repertoire.
For one thing : roast chickpeas – a revelation! Who knew you could turn canned chickpeas into the most more-ish, crunchy morsels, just by throwing them in the oven with a little salt and a few spices!? So good.
This kale salad is robust, filling and full of flavour. I dress it quite generously, but tahini is an intense flavour, so if you prefer, drizzle your dressing over the salad rather than coating the kale fully.
