Marinated Kale and Chickpea Salad With Sumac Onions Recipe

With marinated kale, you don't even have to massage your greens. This salad is good to go straight from the fridge.

Note: Unlike most salads, this one keeps very well in the fridge, retaining its crunch and developing flavor over a couple days. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Toss gently before serving.

Ingredients

1 bunch kale, tough inner stems discarded, leaves roughly torn (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried ground sumac berries
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas or white beans, drained and rinsed
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Combine kale leaves with olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Toss until evenly coated. Allow to rest at room temperature until kale is lightly wilted, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, place onions in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Rinse in several changes of water then carefully dry with a salad spinner lined with paper towels. Combine onions with sumac and sesame seeds. Season to taste with salt.
Combine lemon juice, garlic, and mustard in a small bowl. Once kale is wilted, toss kale, lemon juice mixture, and chickpeas in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve salad topped with sumac onions.
