    INSTRUCTIONS

To Make the Marinated Chickpeas

  1. Place all the ingredients in a container or bowl and mix them up. Place in the fridge, covered for at least a few hours up to overnight. The longer, the better!

To Make the Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or container.

To Assemble the Salad

  1. Place the finely chopped kale in a bowl and massage with a tiny drizzle of  oil (I love to use Lemon Pepper Oil) and if desired, some fresh lemon juice. Let that sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the roasted squash, hemp seeds, cranberries, walnuts and chickpeas.
  3. Top with a generous drizzle of vinaigrette and enjoy
