Cooking Time: 0 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

  • Large bag (170g approx) fresh kale
  • Bunch spring onions, finely chopped
  • Leftover chicken – about 250g per person
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
  • sesame seeds
  • Dressing

  • 1 tbsp tamari

Start by washing, de-stalking and drying the kale, and shredding into bite-sized shards about three inches or so across. Next, make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together in a large bowl.

Add in the raw kale and spring onions and leave it to marinate for about 20 minutes or so until the kale is wilted a little. Finally, add in the chopped chicken, avocado and sesame seeds, mix well and serve.
