Kale Salad

Before going out of town, we pretty much cleared out the fridge completely.  Therefore, coming home I had the perfect opportunity to try to stock up on super healthy stuff since some questionable items had been cleared out.  I bought 2 bunches of kale not having a recipe in mind for them, but was inspired by a friends amazing kale salad and thought I would find a fun way to mix it up salad style.

I remembered seeing a kale and chickpea salad recipe on a blog I really like, The Spontaneous Hausfrau - "A blog about (messy) cooking and (irreverent) domesticity."  Cute right?

I tweaked this recipe a bit based on what I had in the kitchen and it was excellent! The olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest dressing was so good, it was so simple and so flavorful.

Here is the link to original recipe from The Spontaneous Hausfrau  I didn't have any sundried tomatoes on hand like the recipe calls for, but I bet they would have been great.
