Kale Caesar Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
I used to be afraid of kale. Growing up, kale is what we fed to our rabbit and that’s pretty much all I really knew about it. For some reason back in 2010 (that’s probably not the year) kale became the vegetable to eat. And 2012 was later dubbed the “year of kale” even! I boarded the kale train a couple of years ago, and this recipe is your one-way ticket to loving kale.
