Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and to a bowl.

Step 3

Add in the olive oil, garlic powder and salt and toss to combine

Step 4

Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 40 minutes or until crispy.

Step 5

As the chickpeas cook, prepare the quinoa following these instructions.

Step 6

While the quinoa is cooking, de-stem the kale, wash, and chop finely. I like to use kitchen sheers to get it really small. Add to a large bowl along with the chickpeas, quinoa, pumpkin seeds and sliced almonds.

Step 7

To make the dressing, simply whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or add to a salad dressing shaker and shake to combine.

Step 8

Toss the dressing with the salad. Top with additional salt and pepper if desired and enjoy!
