Salad
1 bunch Lacinato Kale
4 Cocktail Tomatoes
1 cup Cooked Chickpeas
Shredded Pecorino Romano Cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Hard Boiled Egg, halved
Caesar Dressing
2 Garlic Cloves
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup Water
2 teaspoons Dijion Mustard
Juice of a Half lemon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 1/2 teaspoons Nutritional Yeast

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2
Cook chickpeas or if using canned rinse chickpeas and dry. Lay chickpeas out on a flat baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder and sea salt. Bake for 20 minutes or until crispy. Remove from oven when done to cool.
3
Rinse kale and de-stem the leave from the stem. Chop and place the de-stemmed kale large bowl. Using your hands, add a touch of olive oil, enough to coat your hands, and massage kale for a few minutes. This should roughly take about 3-5 minutes until the leaves are softened. The motion should be similar to kneading bread dough.
4
Large dice the tomatoes and add them to the bowl along with the cooled chickpeas.
5
To make the dressing add the garlic, mustard, olive oil, sea salt, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice to a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
6
Drizzle dressing over salad. Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper, hard boiled egg, and as much shredded pecorino cheese as you'd like.
