Serving you guys a VEGAN recipe— check out our Vegan Kale Caesar Salad with Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas! On the blog today, and recipe below!
INGREDIENTS
💜For Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas:
15 ounces chickpeas
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon paprika
💜For Vegan Caesar Dressing:
¼ cup raw cashews, soaked overnight and drained
¼ cup tahini
¼ cup water
¼ cup lemon juice (approximately 2 lemons)
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons capers
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt 💜For the Salad:
2 large bunches kale (approximately 8-10 cups)
💕INSTRUCTIONS💕
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas then transfer them to a medium bowl. Top with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Transfer chickpeas to a baking sheet and roast for 40 – 45 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, shaking the pan every 15 minutes times to avoid burning.*
While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare the dressing. Add all the dressing ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a container and set aside.
For the salad, wash the kale leaves thoroughly, then remove all the stems. Chop the leaves into smaller pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
When ready to assemble the salad, pour the dressing over the kale and begin to massage it with your hands until the leaves begin to soften. Transfer to serving dishes and top with chickpeas.
True story, someone organically found our Beet Hummus recipe online because we referenced The Office and our recipe came up. They Googled “Dwight Schrute Beet Hummus Recipe”. Whomever you are... let’s be friends. 💜💜💜💜💜
INGREDIENTS
3 medium sized red beets (washed & peeled)
Olive oil spray (If you don’t have this, simply use regular olive oil)
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (drained & rinsed)
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice (approximately 2 large lemons)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons water
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut beets into wedges and place on a baking sheet. Spray beets with a light coat of olive oil spray (or drizzle olive oil over the beets and toss to coat) and place in oven. Roast beets for 40-50 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool slightly.
In a food processor, add beets, chickpeas and garlic cloves. Pulse to combine.
Add salt, lemon juice, olive oil and water to food processor. Blend until hummus becomes creamy.
Keep refrigerated.
Want to hear a totally ridiculous story? We occasionally travel for work, which makes healthy eating very difficult at times. We wanted to stay on track since we would be there a while, and took that to an extreme level. We paid $25 to check a bag in order to bring our protein shakes with us to New York....😂😅
