Notes:
To make this recipe dairy-free, swap the feta for avocado.
To make this recipe vegan, swap the feta for avocado and use maple syrup instead of honey.
To make this recipe gluten-free, swap the freekeh for quinoa or brown rice. You can easily add a tin of lentils to this recipe to up the fibre and heartiness. Massaging kale makes it softer and tastier. Simply scrunch the kale pieces between your fingers.
