SUMMER KALE, AVOCADO, MANGO, AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH CITRUS POPPY SEED VINAIGRETTE
This is a delicious summer salad. Great as a dinner salad with some grilled chicken or fish, or as a side. This is my first experience with kale, and I'm hooked! Add nuts (walnuts, cashews, slivered almonds), sunflower seeds, or dried fruit (cranberries or cherries) for some added texture and deliciousness! I also like to add thinly sliced red bell peppers or Shepherd peppers; it is a salad, anything goes! The citrus vinaigrette is light and refreshing. Sometimes I want a sweeter vinaigrette, hence the addition of marmalade. Apricot would work well, too. A great summertime salad.

- Use canned chickpeas, or cook your own. If you are using canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse and drain them well before adding them to the salad.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will give the salad a more complex flavor. Some good options include cilantro, mint, cumin, and chili powder.

- Serve the salad immediately. This is a best enjoyed fresh.
