Posted on April 17, 2023April 17, 2023 By Admin No Comments on Tortellini & Chickpea Kale Salad

This chickpea tortellini salad is going to become a fridge staple for you. It takes about 20 minutes or so to throw together, can last in the fridge for a few days and is a delicious side dish that works with so many meals.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil for sautéing
  •  ounces chickpeas canned, drained and rinsed
  •  large garlic cloves sliced
  •  cups chopped kale curly or lacinato
  •  ounces tortellini frozen, vegan
For the Curry Dressing:
  •  cup unsweetened non-dairy yogurt
  •  cup mayonnaise vegan
  •  tablespoons lemon juice
  •  tablespoons water
  •  teaspoon curry powder
  • Maple syrup to taste
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add a drizzle of olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chickpeas. Sauté the chickpeas for about 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a rimmed dish and set aside.
  2. Add the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, water, and curry powder to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Add maple syrup to taste. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, or until lightly golden. Stir continuously to prevent the garlic from burning.
  4. Add the kale and toss with the garlic and olive oil.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons water and cover. Let the kale steam for 2 minutes. Remove the lid and sauté for one more minute.
  6. Transfer the kale and garlic to the dish with the chickpeas.
  7. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortellini, flat side down, and let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Add ½ cup water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid and stir in the chickpeas, kale, and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the desired amount of dressing for serving.
