Do we really need another kale salad? Yes, another kale salad only lighter and with complex flavors. This is a great simple weekday lunch salad that will serve you well all during your work week. Sorghum Kale Chickpea and Olive Salad – No. 554 new in the Recipe Membership Collection.
KALE SALADS
It seems that Kale had its moment. Kale salads were everywhere. Now a softer, less kale assertive version emerges in this recipe. The strong green aspect of kale is softened by a fine chop, creamy chickpeas, Castelvetrano olives and salty feta. Other kale favorites include Dr. Weil’s Kale Salad from Tru Foods Kitchen and of course my Winter Caesar Salad.
SORGHUM
This salad goes grain and gluten-free with Sorghum, a great substitute for couscous. You cook sorghum much like any grain, and it can be made quickly in the Instant Pot. It is an ancient grain also packed with fiber and protein. You see it many times in American Southern recipes often used as Sorghum Molasses.
EXTRAS
The pickled onions are worth the effort to top the salad. Buy ready to go or make your own, it is very easy, there are many recipes out there.
Using a sheep’s milk feta adds the salty bite to the salad.
As always, enjoy. B
