Kale and Chickpea Salad with a Lemon Tahini Dressing

If you know me, then you know that I’m a vegetarian and I am always looking for new ways to get protein in a healthy way. This Kale and Chickpea Salad with a Lemon Tahini Dressing always fits the bill. It’s super simple to make and is a great option for meal prepping. This recipe includes crispy chickpeas that can be made in the Air Fryer or oven. The feta and pecans add an additional flavor profile that I think you will LOVE.

Start out by preheating the air fryer to 350 degrees. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix well.

Cook the chickpeas in the air fryer for 15 minutes or until crispy.

While the chickpeas are cooking, combine the ingredients for the salad dressing and mix well.

To a bowl, add the kale, chickpeas, pecans and feta.
