This easy vegan kale salad features crunchy kale, fresh fruits, crispy chickpeas, and a super creamy Tahini dressing. This is an ultimate high protein vegan lunch anyone can think of.
Preheat oven at 200C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Wash and drain chickpeas. Add oil, Turmeric powder smoked paprika and salt to chickpeas and mix. Spread on a lined baking sheet and baked for about 20 to 25 minutes or until crispy.
Next, wash kale leaves. Make sure all dirt is removed from kale leaves. Remove hard stems and separate the leaves from stems. Next roughly chop the kale leaves.
In a large salad bowl place kale leaves, add oil, salt, and lemon juice. Massage with your hands for about 3 to 4 minutes. Once It is soft and tender to touch and turn into the dark green shade, kale is ready. Set aside.
Next prepare fruit, remove strawberry leaves and slice. Deseed pomegranate.
Prepare salad dressing by mixing tahini paste, orange juice, garlic powder, and salt. I am using orange juice with pulp, but if you don’t like pulp you can use simple orange juice. You can use a splash of hot water to slightly dilute the dressing if it's too thick.
In a large salad, bowl place massaged kale leaves, top with roasted turmeric chickpeas, strawberries, and pomegranate seeds.
Sprinkle over some white sesame seeds and drizzle prepared salad dressing.
