Creamy Kale and Florida Grapefruit Salad

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 2 Florida Grapefruit
  • 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bunch of kale
  • 1 avocado, ripe, diced
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds, roasted
  • Salt and pepper

For the creamy Florida Grapefruit sauce:

  • 125ml Florida Grapefruit juice
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise or tahini
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instruction

  1. Preheat the oven at 200°C.
  2. Rinse and drain the chickpeas. On a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, place the chickpeas and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes.
  3. Cut the grapefruit into segments. To begin, on your cutting board, cut off both ends of the grapefruit then peel them off with a sharp knife. Slide the blade along the membranes to remove the segments. Set aside.
  4. Squeeze the membranes to collect the juice in a separate container for the citrus sauce.
  5. Prepare the creamy Florida Grapefruit sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl until the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  6. In the meantime, thinly slice the kale, taking care to remove the stem, and place it in a large salad bowl. Mix the kale with the sauce, massaging the cabbage to soften it.
  7. Combine kale, roasted chickpeas, Florida Grapefruit segments, avocado cubes and roasted pumpkin seeds. Serve on plates with extra sauce, if desired.
