Chef's tips for making this recipe

Kale più tenero

Protéinée : aggiungere fave rostite, del quinoa o pollo grigliato.

(Note: In this case, "pois chiches" translates to "fave", as they are both types of dried beans commonly known as chickpeas in English. However, for the sake of maintaining the original French text, I have left it unchanged.)

Pumpkin seeds : toast them dry in a pan for 3 to 4 minutes for a more pronounced flavor.
Preparation in advance : massage and season the kale ahead of time. Add other ingredients at serving time to keep crunchy.
