Garbanzo Kale Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing

1 large head Lacinato or Tuscan kale
1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbs olive oil, divided
1 tbs harissa spice powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbs tahini dressing

In a medium skillet over high heat, warm 1tbs olive oil. When shimmering, add garbanzo beans, salt and pepper and harissa spice powder. Toss to coat and let cook, undisturbed for 2 minutes (garbanzo beans may pop, this is normal). Stir thoroughly and cook another 2 minutes, until garbanzo beans are crispy and some may be slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, warm remaining 1 tbs olive oil. When heated, add kale tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper and cook until kale beings to wilt, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add in garbanzo beans, toss to combine and cook covered for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.

To serve, top or toss kale and garbanzo salad with tahini dressing.

Looks delicious! Just a heads up though, olive oil doesn’t take high heat very well, so you might want to use another type of oil if the recipe needs high heat.
