Tips & Tricks (5)
- Massage the Kale 👐Massage the raw kale with a bit of olive oil and lemon juice for 2-3 minutes to break down the tough fibers and make it more tender and digestible.
- Roast Pumpkin to Perfection 🎃Cut Hokkaido pumpkin into uniform cubes and roast at 425°F with a light coating of olive oil to develop caramelized edges and enhance its natural sweetness.
- Citrus Dressing Secret 🍊Whisk the dressing ingredients vigorously to emulsify, ensuring the maple syrup, orange juice, and olive oil combine into a smooth, well-integrated vinaigrette.
- Chickpea Crunch Hack 🥜Pat chickpeas completely dry before roasting to ensure maximum crispiness, and season with a pinch of salt and smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Make-Ahead Magic 🕰️Prepare the salad components separately and combine just before serving to maintain texture, keeping the kale crisp and pumpkin's roasted edges intact.
