Kale Salad with Chia Lemon Dressing
Lacinato kale is also called black or Tuscan kale. The leaves are longer, thinner and darker than regular curly kale. Use a coffee grinder to grind the chia seed; ground chia seed thickens the vinaigrette, making it almost creamy.
- Ingredients
2 tbsp (25 mL) PC Organics Black Chia Seed, ground
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/2 cup (125 mL) PC New World EVOO Extra Virgin Olive
Oil
1/3 cup (75 mL) fresh lemon juice
2 bunches lacinato kale (about 600 g), washed and spun
dry
1 can (540 mL) PC Blue Menu Chickpeas, drained and
rinsed
1 cup (250 mL) halved grape tomatoes
1/4 cup (50 mL) finely chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp (25 mL) PC Organics Black Chia Seed
- Instructions

olive oil and lemon juice in small bowl.
