Crunchy Kale and Chickpea Salad

Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe for a crunchy kale and chickpea salad. This dish is perfect for a light and refreshing lunch on a warm summer day. The combination of hearty kale and crisply roasted chickpeas makes for a satisfying and flavorful meal.

Ingredients:

  • 200g kale
  • 150g canned chickpeas
  • 15ml honey
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 30ml olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic (minced)
  • to taste
  • to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • knife

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C. Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Spread them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.

In the meantime, wash and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the kale to the bowl and massage the dressing into the leaves until well coated.

Once the chickpeas are done, let them cool slightly before adding them to the kale salad. Toss everything together until evenly combined. Serve the salad immediately for maximum crunchiness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 400g. This recipe makes 2 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. Each serving is approximately 250 calories.

One unique tip for this salad is to add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast to the roasted chickpeas for a cheesy flavor boost. It adds an unexpected twist to this already delicious dish.

I encourage you to give this crunchy kale and chickpea salad a try. Feel free to experiment with different dressings or toppings to make it your own. Enjoy!
