Key ingredients for this Curry Chickpea and Kale Salad.
There are a ton of great flavours and ingredients in this Curry Chickpea and Kale Salad, each one as important as the last; here’s a breakdown of why they are there:
Kale– Such great texture and source of fibre, we’ll teach you how to properly show it some love later in the blog!
Sweet potato– Adding a touch of sweetness and texture.
Apple– Again, adding sweetness, crunch and a bright acidity!
Greek yogurt- The best base for dressings, it adds extra protein and gives a great zip to your recipes.
Maple and hot sauce- You always need a little sweetness and heat to balance things out!

The trick to the perfect kale salad.
Kale can be a tricky ingredient to work with; If it’s not handled properly, it can be super tough and chewy.
The trick to a great kale salad is to mash up the leaves with your hands as much as possible which breaks down the cell walls of the leaf and makes it so tender and delicate. Add in your dressing, give it a good thrashing, and you’ll be blown away by the difference it makes.
Cleaning you greens is important too. Sometimes when you wash a green, it can hold on to a ton of liquid and water your dressings down. Using a salad spinner like this one is a great way to keep the greens clean and dry!

Nailing the dressing.
The best way to get a creamy dressing that has its flavours evenly dispersed is to use a blender.
Pop in all of your ingredients and blitz until there are almost no chunks left.
Adding in a few tablespoons of water is the key to getting it to the perfect consistency!
