I love the idea of roasting the garlic cloves while still intact, but having roasted garlic at the end of roasting the chickpeas! So fantastic! This was a big hit last night at a dinner (also made / brought your lemon bars!) Next time (and there will definitely be a next time), I will use the whole head. Who needs chocolate when they’ve got a salad as sparking as this? The recipe was easy to follow and the flavors were fantastic. If you are following a medically restrictive diet, please consult your doctor or registered dietitian before preparing this recipe for personal consumption. It is perfect harmony. This was so great! I’m wondering if I can use something to substitute the tahini as I don’t have any on hand. After I poured the dressing on it was waaaay overdressed. I cannot wait to try it :) Thank you for your yummy recipes! All I could taste in it was the lemon juice and the sweetness from the maple syrup. I got this at a vintage shop and spray painted the wood white! And not even close to boring! Shake the basket every 7 minutes til crispy. OMG. I spent over an hour making it, and I’m an experienced cook. I don’t know if this happened for anyone else, but a bunch of the garlic exploded in my oven! https://www.jesselanewellness.com/recipes/crispy-chickpea-kale-salad There is a little voice inside my head that tells me tahini is high in calories. Maybe your “medium” lemons were smaller than mine? I added additional two raw, chopped cloves of garlic into the dressing to add an extra kick for my extra garlic loving family, perfect for us! (I didn’t have lemons on hand) I’ll be making this again! You could also leave out the legumes all together if desired. Was your garlic wet or near water? Which means my lunch the next day can involve a badass kale salad. Divide the sliced cucumbers, radishes and cherry tomatoes between the servings and place around each bed of kale. Chickpea Sweet Potato Kale Salad made with a delicious olive oil and lemon vinaigrette is a high protein super healthy lunch option. Place chopped kale in a large bowl. If you make this recipe, let us know! My diet is literally kale and chocolate. Bread: Make a more traditional salad; ditch the toasted chickpeas and make some homemade croutons instead. PS – I made the Tandoori spice from the recipe, and it is a keeper! Love your recipes!!! The dinner was billed as a vegetarian’s nightmare, so you can get a flavor for the tastes of those present (including my own). yessssssss <3. Super healthy Sound likely? This is so yummy and delicious, both kale and chickpeas are so versatile, they’re super tasty in complex salads or simply baked while seasoned with salt. High Fives girlfriend!! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. Unfortunately, this particular recipe was not a hit with myself or my partner. the Horseradish hummus is also outta control, as is the combo of Plantain Chips + Spicy Guac. And the flavor was not overwhelming at all. This looks absolutely savory & delicious! I made your kale salad with tandoori chick peas for a family pot luck. I was crazing something healthy that could be made come from what I had on hand. Add drained chickpeas to a mixing bowl and toss with oil, salt, and seasonings. D: You could omit it, but won’t be quite as flavorful! I just want to say that I have been making this salad for years, YEARS! Roasted chickpeas have become a new household favorite, so I’m excited to try your version. Not sure if this is helpful for you but I just throw garlic powder, paprika and chilli (and salt and pepper) on the chickpeas…i’m usually pretty generous with my spices too (I add about one to two tablespoons of each of those noted spices) – even a small can of chickpeas can handle that flavour in my opinion. :). Cook and stir walnuts in the hot skillet until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. This has become one of my favorite recipes found on Pinterest. Thanks Dana! Our Other Favorite Kale … Step 5 - Add all of the veggies and feta to a bowl with some fresh lemon juice or vinaigrette, then add the chickpeas and boom, a delicious Chickpea Kale Greek Salad.Full of nutrition, the classic flavors of a Greek salad, plus the spice and crunch from the chickpeas. Not to mention, nutrients. We’re so glad you both enjoy it, Elle! Then go to flavor town. Highly recommen! Then add as much dressing as desired (some may be leftover) and mix with a spoon or salad tongs. I also served with orange slices because I found myself craving them as I was tasting the salad during prep… Thanks for a delicious recipe, I have really been enjoying your blog recipes! ), and it turned out great even with my adjustments! Such a keeper! Great to know! Way to kill it with those flavors! This salad looks delicious! Longest hour of my life. I didn’t really think that massaging the kale with lemon juice and olive oil would improve the flavor, but it did make a difference! Or we think arugula or other greens would also be nice. Ingredients. Yay! PS I have tried a number of your recipes recently and I am a fan! This Kale, Apple and Chickpea Salad with Vegan Feta has so many delicious flavours, textures and nutritious components. Thanks for the suggestion! xoxo. This is an amazingly recipe and so easy to make! Delicious like everything from Minimalist Baker. Unfortunately, I found the salad completely unsatisfying. The sweet potato was a nice addition. Hands down. So I crafted a way to quick-roast garlic by separating the cloves. Peel apart garlic cloves but leave the skin on. Second of all, I want to confirm that a) your spices were fresh, b) you did in fact follow the recipe as written, and c) you had high quality tahini? Anyways, I love your recipes and I can’t give this one a try! Overnight? I found that baby kale was also a great swap. This is one of the sexiest kale salads I’ve ever seen. how much water do you add to the dressing?!? Multi-tasking in the kitchen is always welcome….as is roasted garlic!!

It was super soft and perfect! Yep just the skins! Add the chopped kale to a large bowl and pour the dressing over it. We love your creative solution for potlucks :) Thanks for sharing! //
