Salad
1. Place chickpeas in air fryer (or oven) and sprinkle desired amounts
of paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, and salt. Cook for 15-20
minutes or until crispy. Optional: remove skin of chickpeas for
ultimate crunch, though it is a tedious process.
2. Rinse and tear kale and lettuce. Place in a large bowl and squeeze
juice of half a lemon and a sprinkle of salt. Toss and combine well.
3. Add in crunchy chickpeas, hemp seeds, and a sprinkling of vegan
Parmesan. Drizzle 2-3 tsp of dressing per handful of greens to avoid
over saturating the salad.
Serves 2-3
