Time 20m

Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, from one lemon
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, minced
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 5oz Bag or Container Baby Kale or Kale/Dark Greens Mix
½ cup shaved Parmigiano-Regianno

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place the chickpeas on the prepared baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes, stirring once, until the chickpeas are slightly shrunken and crispy. Let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the greens and toss until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (I usually add a bit more salt). Arrange on plates and top with Parmigiano-Regianno shavings and crispy roasted chickpeas.
Note: If you can't find baby kale, feel free to substitute any other deep green blend, arugula or Lacinato kale (you'll just have to chop the leaves and let it marinate a bit).

Kale and Chickpea Salad image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced and rinsed
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained well and dried on paper towels
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon zaatar or dried mint
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 bunches Tuscan kale, sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 teaspoon zaatar

Steps:

For the onions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring the vinegar, sugar and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat to dissolve the sugar. Place the onions in a small bowl and pour the hot mixture over them. Toss well to coat. Allow to cool to room temperature for 1 hour before using.
For the chickpeas: Meanwhile, toss the chickpeas with the olive oil, lemon zest, zaatar and salt. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes. Drain well on paper towels.
For the salad: Place the Tuscan kale in a large bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and massage the salt into the kale. Add the olive oil, vinegar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup of the onions without their liquid, all of the chickpeas, feta and zaatar. Toss to combine and serve.
