Christmas food can be very heavy on its own – I like to serve sides of salads with the traditional Christmas food to make it a bit lighter. This kale salad is a perfect option as a side dish.
The salad can also be served as a meal on its own – I would just add more avocado, oven-baked chickpeas and quinoa, pearled spelt or bulgur.
