Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces gluten free pasta
  • 5 cups de-stemmed and chopped kale
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 can chickpeas 15 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for crispy chickpeas
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika for crispy chickpeas
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for crispy chickpeas
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder for crispy chickpeas
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt for crispy chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise for dressing
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt for dressing
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan for dressing
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice for dressing
  • 1 clove garlic minced for dressing
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard for dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt for dressing
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper for dressing

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, dry them, toss with olive oil and spices, then bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Remove the stems from the kale, chop it, rinse, and massage it to break down its fibrous texture. Dry off any excess water.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth.
  5. Combine the pasta, chickpeas, kale, and grated parmesan in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss until well coated.
