Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 curly green kale head
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt for sprinkling
  • black pepper for sprinkling
  • 1 avocado sliced in half
  • 1 cup cherry tomato halved

creamy avocado dressing

  • 1 avocado ripe
  • 1/3 cup yogurt plain, Greek
  • 1 garlic minced, clove
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil

brown butter garlic breadcrumbs

  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • cup bread crusty, torn pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

crispy chickpeas

  • 2 cups chickpeas if canned, drain and rinse, cooked
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil or olive oil spray/mist
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to the highest setting. Drizzle the kale with a tablespoon of the olive oil and massage it into the leaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle the avocado with the other tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
  2. Place the kale pieces on the grill along with the avocados, cut side down. Grill both for 1 to 2 minutes, until the lettuce becomes charred, then flip over for an additional minute. Grill the avocado just until grill marks appear.
  3. Remove both from the grill. Tear the kale leaves from the stems and toss them with the avocado dressing – as much or as little as you’d like! Slice the grilled avocado and add it on top. Cover with the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, breadcrumbs and more dressing if you’d like.
