• 4 medium-size zucchini (washed and peeled like fettuccini noodles)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 bunch (4-5 leaves kale, washed)

• 2 tablespoons vegan mayo

1. 1

   Place the zucchini ribbons into a colander, add salt and let it drain for 15 minutes.

   In a large pot put some water and, using a steam basket, steam the kale for 5 minutes. Take it out and let it cool. Once cooled, chop it into small pieces.
