This quick and easy broccoli kale salad is such a tasty way to inject more dark leafy greens into your every day with zero struggle!
Wash the kale and remove the centre spine from each leaf. Spin or shake the leaves dry.
Rip into bite pieces, or bundle up a few leaves tightly, and chop into fine ribbons if you prefer.
Add the kale to your mixing bowl.
Add a teaspoon of a mild tasting oil and, using your hands, massage the oil into the leaves to soften them.
Next, rinse and spin the half a head of broccoli dry.
Cut the florets from the stem, then cut or break each floret into tiny little florets. Add to the bowl.
Dice the broccoli stalk into small cubes and add to the bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and slice the cucumber into half mons and add to the other vegetables. If you wish to store the salad for a few days, consider cutting out the cucumber seeds before slicing to help prevent them going soft.
Finally, sprinkle the salad with the sunflower seeds and Roquito peppers and toss together well.
If you are serving straight away toss in your favourite salad dressing and enjoy.
However, if you are storing the salad for meal prep, add the dressing to each portion as you serve.
