Step 1

Wash kale, remove the stems, chop into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.

Step 2

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil, chickpeas, paprika, garlic powder and salt.  Stir and cook until chickpeas are warmed through and crispy, 7-10 minutes.

Step 3

If making your own caesar dressing, add all ingredients to a high powered blender and blend until creamy.

Step 4

Add the chickpeas, croutons and 3/4 cup of dressing to the bowl with the kale and mix until combined.  If desired, heat pita bread until warm and stuff it with kale mixture.  Top with extra grated parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.
