  • Add chickpeas, walnuts, and cranberries. Mix well.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle parmesan over the salad and mix. You can sprinkle more parmesan when serving if desired.

Notes

I added chickpeas to give the salad some protein and make it a meal. If you are making this as a side dish or appetizer you can leave them out.
I use the PC Organics Kale Blend, it’s a blend of three kale varieties, but any kale will do, though I think Tuscan kale is the best for this recipe.
This salad keeps really well. The kale is a hearty leaf and can stay dressed in the fridge for up to three days.
