Ingredients


1 can (15oz) Chickpeas, canned, drained
3 tbsp Sesame seeds
3 tbsp hulled Sunflower seeds
3 tbsp Pumpkin seeds (pepitas) (hulled)
6 tbsp Coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Coriander seed (cilantro) (freshly ground)
1 1/2 tsp Black pepper
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Turmeric, powder
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 bunch Kale (large bunch, with stems removed and chopped into bite sized pieces)
2 avocado(s) Avocado (diced)
3/4 cup Cashew nuts, raw
2 clove(s) Garlic
2 tsp Miso paste, white
1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tsp Nutritional yeast
1/2 cup Water
2 tsp Tamari, gluten free, reduced sodium
3/4 cup Tahini

Instructions



Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.

In a large bowl mix the chickpeas, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, 3 Tbsp melted coconut oil, cumin, garlic powder, coriander, 1/2 tsp pepper, paprika, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Spread out on the baking sheet and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

Place the cashews (or use sesame seeds for a nut free version) and garlic in a food processor and pulse until minced. Add the tahini, miso paste, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, 3 tbsp coconut oil, water, tamari and 1 tsp pepper and blend until smooth. The dressing will be much thicker than regular salad dressing.

In a large bowl massage dressing into the kale. Top with the avocado and sprinkle with the crispy chickpea and seed mixture.
