Mouthwatering Kale Salad with Crispy Chickpeas Recipe!
Ingredients:
1 bunch of kale, stems removed and leaves torn
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dried
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for a vegan version, use nutritional yeast)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
For the Dressing:
3 tablespoons extra
virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy. Stir halfway through for even crisping.
Massage the kale in a large bowl with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt until the leaves soften and wilt.
Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small bowl—season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the crispy chickpeas, grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast), and sliced almonds to the kale. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine.
Taste for seasoning, adjust if necessary, and serve the salad immediately.
