Kale, Olive and Chickpea Salad

Kale, Olive and Chickpea Salad

You’ve probably heard about the Mediterranean diet and how good it is for your health. The typical Mediterranean diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. And this Kale, Olive and Chickpea Salad is one of my favorite ways to incorporate the Mediterranean diet into my routine.

I should probably mention that my husband is a black olive fanatic! I keep several cans of California Ripe Olives in the pantry just for him.

He’ll snack on them straight from the can, which is great, because a serving of olives contains 0 grams of trans fat, and they’re naturally a cholesterol-free food.

Plus they contain vitamin E, iron, vitamin A, and fiber. And they’re packaged at their peak to preserve nutrients for year-round enjoyment. My favorite way to enjoy olives is in a healthy salad.

This Kale, Olive and Chickpea Salad is perfect for taking to the office for lunch. It also makes a great side dish, or even a light dinner on a hot summer day. And it only requires a few simple, healthy ingredients, and comes together in about 15 minutes.

Ingredients:
  • 1 16 oz. can California Black Ripe Olives
  • 1 15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2-3 cups kale finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2-3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese optional

Prep Time:
20 minutes
