Serves 4

Cashew Dressing:
  • ½ cup raw cashews, soaked overnight in water in fridge or for 30 minutes in just boiled water
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup warm water

Crispy chickpea topping:
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed really well
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 200°C. Pour chickpeas on kitchen roll and rub them dry, then place in bowl. Add olive oil, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper, and stir to evenly coat chickpeas. 

Pour chickpeas onto baking tray and spread them out so they are not crowded. Bake for 15 minutes, stir and bake for another 15 minutes.

Kale Salad:
