Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced and rinsed
- One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained well and dried on paper towels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon zaatar or dried mint
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 bunches Tuscan kale, sliced thin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- 1 teaspoon zaatar
Instructions
- For the onions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring the vinegar, sugar and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat to dissolve the sugar. Place the onions in a small bowl and pour the hot mixture over them. Toss well to coat. Allow to cool to room temperature for 1 hour before using.
- For the chickpeas: Meanwhile, toss the chickpeas with the olive oil, lemon zest, zaatar and salt. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes. Drain well on paper towels.
- For the salad: Place the Tuscan kale in a large bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and massage the salt into the kale. Add the olive oil, vinegar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup of the onions without their liquid, all of the chickpeas, feta and zaatar. Toss to combine and serve.

Reviews
This salad is great and I usually do not like kale and my husband won’t usually eat chickpeas. To save time, I buy prewashed baby kale which is easily found in most produce sections of the grocery. To make this a meal we add grilled chicken breast cubes. Delicious!
This is a great and flavorful salad! I added freshly ground pepper to the chickpeas during roasting and to the kale while assembling the salad. This is worth the prep time and the pickled red onions are great!
I loved this Salad, quick easy and delicious. Since I love kale, it will be my go to
Great recipe! I served it to my family tonight and each one has their aversion to certain ingredients, but when all combined, they had 2nd and 3rd helpings. They loved it and there were no leftovers!
This salad is amazing. I make it all the time. And no salad should be blamed for a home fire. Seriously?! That first review has got to be a joke.
Loved this kale salad!
Great recipe. We love it. Especially the addition of the pickled onions. Thank you.
While I didn’t add the feta cheese the rest was amazing Thank you Giada
