Roasted garlic, lemon, chickpea and kale salad






Serves 4 as small starter or side dish

1 can chickpeas
1 bunch kale
1 Lemon
2 cloves garlic (1 clove if you don't love garlic, wtf!)
1 handful parsley

Olive oil, salt pepper

Easy, quick, delicious

1) Drain chickpeas from can and dry with paper towel, put in large bowl
2) Garlic either roasted in olive oil in the oven for best flavour and then chopped finely or simply raw (if raw, without the germ in the middle of the garlic, !! important) put in bowl
3) Remove kale leaves from the branches, cut finely and mix in large bowl with chickpeas
4) Chop parsley finely and whack it in the bowl
5) Juice of 1 lemon in the bowl, salt and pepper and olive oil
6) Grate some parmesan and mix it in the bowl

Presto, serve with fresh topping of parmesan

(If you want vegan, use vegan parmesan but it will never, ever be the same....)
