Ingredients

For the Salad

60 g kale
40 g spinach
3 hard-boiled eggs
1 avocado
40 g walnuts

For the Dressing

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest
2 spring onions scallions/green onions in the U.S.
1 clove garlic
⅛ teaspoon mustard wholegrain
⅛ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Add 60 g kale to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt (to taste). Use both hands to massage the greens for 2-5 minutes, until the kale becomes visibly shiny and soft.
Add the massaged kale, 40 g spinach, 3 hard-boiled eggs (chopped or grated), 1 avocado (chopped), and 40 g walnuts (lightly roasted) to a bowl.
Make the salad dressing by mixing 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, 2 spring onions (chopped), ⅛ teaspoon mustard, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 clove garlic (grated) in a small bowl, until combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Notes

To make the recipe vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey, and swap hard-boiled eggs for cubed tofu or a plant-based egg alternative.
To make the recipe nut free, swap out walnuts with lightly roasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or even sesame seeds. Roasted chickpeas replicate that crunchy texture, too.

I like to make my hard-boiled eggs in advance. To hard-boil the eggs, place them in a pot of water, bring the water to a boil, then switch off the heat. Let the eggs sit for around ten minutes, then remove them from the water and cool before peeling.
