What are we cooking today?
So fresh, tasty and so good for you. Rich in electrolytes and super delicious.
Getting started
- Heat about 2 litres of water in a large pot and add a pinch of salt.
Wash the kale properly. And cut it in quarters and place in salted boiling water. Cook for about 10-20 minutes.
Note: cooking time depends on how tender or crispy you wish your kale to be. For crispy texture, cook for about 10 minutes, for tender, cook for up to 20 minutes.Take the kale out of the water, let it cool down and drain. Then, chop it into small slices and place in a salad bowl.
Wash and remove the skin of the avocado. Cut it in cubes.
The Dressing:
Wash the orange and lime and cut in halves. Squeeze the juices into a bowl and add hazelnut oil. Season with black pepper and mix well.Add the avocado into the bowl with the kale and pour the dressing all over.
Sprinkle with raw or pan-roasted pine nuts and garnish with sliced orange and lime and serve.
Annabelle's tip
I love this salad in a roll, wrap or sandwich with chicken. It's a whole family winner for lunch.
