Balsamic Kale Chickpea Salad (Vegan)

I am a huge lover of salads. I could eat them everyday. Probably why I have so many salad recipes on my blog. The latest is this Balsamic Kale Chickpea Salad.

It has all my favorite flavors in one yummy salad recipe! It takes no time at all to throw together.

This salad would be great for parties.  It’s vegan and gluten free.  Super healthy and tasty. This recipe calls for removing the stems from the kale.  Don’t throw them away.  You can save them for juicing or homemade vegetable broth.

I massaged the kale, so it’s much easier to eat.  I filmed a video about massaging kale if you want to check it out below.
