Tear your kale into large bite sized pieces and remove the thick stems and discard them. Rinse thoroughly and then add to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon juice on top and massage the kale with your hands for 2-3 minutes. This will gently wilt and soften the kale.
Add the chickpeas and hemp hearts to the same bowl and set aside.
Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly to combine. Then pour the dressing on your salad and mix well to evenly distribute.
Garnish with the orange segments and enjoy.
Notes
Make sure to massage the kale. Don't skip this step. It only takes 2-3 minutes of time and the results are well worth the effort.Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the absolute best flavour.If you don't have apple cider vinegar, sub for white wine vinegar or white balsamic with similar results.Leftovers keep refrigerated for 1-2 days.
