Instructions

  • 1.   1️⃣ 🥬 Prepare the kale
    Remove the tough stems from the kale, then cut the leaves into pieces. Place them in a salad bowl, add a pinch of salt and massage them with your fingers for 2 minutes to soften them and improve their digestibility.
    2️⃣ 🥬 Slice the red cabbage
    Cut the red cabbage into thin slices for a soft and easy-to-chew texture. Add it to the massaged kale.
    3️⃣ 🥕 Grate the carrot
    Peel the carrot and finely grate it to bring sweetness and lightness to the salad. Incorporate it into the mixture.
    4️⃣ 🌰 Prepare the chickpeas
    Thoroughly rinse and drain the chickpeas. Add them whole to provide digestible plant proteins.
    5️⃣ 🍋🫒 Prepare the dressing
    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, pepper, and the remaining salt until you get a fragrant vinaigrette.
    6️⃣ 🌀 Assemble the salad
    Pour the dressing over the salad, then mix thoroughly so that the vegetables absorb the flavors well.
    7️⃣ ⏳ Digestive rest
    Let the salad rest for 5 minutes at room temperature to soften the fibers and facilitate digestion.
    💡 Tip to facilitate the recipe
    👉 Massaging the kale thoroughly is essential: this step makes it much more tender and pleasant to digest.
    🔄 Ingredient swap
    👉 Chickpeas can be replaced with cooked lentils to vary the nutrients while remaining digestible.
    🔥 "Cooking" tip (no cooking)
    👉 If the red cabbage is very firm, drizzle it with a little lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before mixing: it will naturally soften.
