Kale Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

By Meal Prep Chef

Put your knife skills to the test! This healthy and light salad is a good accompaniment to heavier dishes. Feel free to sub out the cucumber if making during the winter months. Highly modifiable, this salad works with so many dishes and is a refreshing alternative to the common green salad. Not to mention, full of nutrients!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Yields: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

• ½ Cucumber, cut into thin half moons
• 5 Cherry Tomatoes, sliced in half
• ¼ Red Onion, finely diced
• 1 Handful of Raw Almonds, chopped
• ½ Bunch of Kale, roughly chopped
• 1 tbsp Parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Dill, finely chopped
• ¼ can Chickpeas, drained & rinsed
• 1 Lemon
• Salt & Pepper

Directions:

1. Prepare all ingredients by using a very sharp knife. To be able to finely and evenly prep, a sharp knife is required. A dull knife will bruise the vegetables and cause them to brown more quickly.
2. Using the kale as a base, top with all salad toppings.
3. Squeeze fresh Lemon Juice over the salad and season with Salt & Pepper.
