Chopped Kale Salad with Roasted Chickpeas

chopped kale salad

This chopped Kale salad, complemented with some sweet plantains and roasted chickpeas is a keeper. Sweet,a tart spicy and just one heck of a hearty plate. Can be enjoyed without the accompaniments if you’re a raw vegan but plantains always have a home on my plate.

THE KALE

No wilt here! You hear the crunch? Give it an attempted squeeze. Hear it? That’s what your going for. Kale is quite robust compared to other salad greens so we are really chopping the leaves here. Some say massage the kale. We are massaging with the knife so chop on. Almost minced. A food processor will do great here too.

Giving it a little more body with some cauliflower. Finely chop too. Almost like cauliflower rice consistency. Now we bring in a some extra crunch and kick from red onions; a little sweet and tart from craisins.

THE DRESSING

Combine all in a bowl and give it a nice mix. I used my hands, so we give the kale a little more of that massage.

CHICKPEAS

The croutons of the salad. Cut roasting time if you want a less crunchy bite. Simply seasoned with your favorite dry rub and some olive oil. Used my suya spice mix here . You can use canned chickpeas , but I do recommend you peel them. I cook my chickpeas, salted in the instapot.

PLANTAINS

Simply slice and deep or pan fry. Great addition but optional.

From here on , you can build this chopped kale salad to your liking. Bowl or platter, adding more to the bowl. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
