Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 (15-ounce) can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 5 handfuls of chopped kale
  • A splash of water
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • A few dashes of salt
  • A squeeze of lemon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan and add beans. Cook until beans start to lightly brown.
  2. Add in the kale, water, garlic, and salt. Mix in and cover until kale is bright green and slightly wilted.
  3. Remove from heat and squeeze lemon over the kale.
  4. Serve at room temperature or cold.

Notes

  • To reduce prep time: Slice away the tough stems from the kale, create a stack of several leaves, and cut every ¼-inch or so apart to quickly cut into strips. You can buy pre-chopped kale, but the stems are often still attached.
  • Cook the kale covered: The lid will trap the steam, making it tender quickly without drying out.
  • For the best flavor: Mix the kale salad with lemon dressing and leave it to ‘marinate’ for 10-15 minutes for all the flavors to meld before serving.
