We love kale-based salads around here, and you want to know why? You guessed it! Because it won't get soggy in the fridge. Everything from the crisp veggies and sweet, chewy dates to the creamy avocado, vegan feta cheese, and irresistible dressing makes this salad addictive.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 head kale, shredded
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (15oz/425g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

For the dressing:
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp maple syrup

METHOD
-
To a small bowl, add the onion and apple cider vinegar. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the onions are covered. Set aside.
-
To a large salad bowl, add the shredded kale and olive oil. Massage the kale with your hands to make it more tender for 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Add the chickpeas, dates, cucumber, avocado, walnuts, and feta to the salad bowl. Drain the onions, then top the salad with the pickled onions.

Make the dressing. In a small bowl or jar, combine the dressing ingredients. Whisk or shake to combine, and pour over the top of the assembled salad! Enjoy!
