Kale Salad

My husband made this, but I had to share it, because it's so healthy and yummy.  It's his own creation.  He's really the ingenious, creative chef of the family.  I just follow recipes with a few tweaks here and there.  I'll have him write out the recipe soon.

Kale and Chickpea Salad

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
5 garlic cloves (minced)
1 Tbsp. dried minced onions (or fresh, diced onions)
1 (15.5-oz) can chickpeas, drained
1 (10-oz) bag of kale
1 cup water
1 tsp smoked salt

1.  Heat large skillet over med heat.
2.  Add olive oil.
3.  Add minced garlic and saute for 1 min, making sure not to let garlic burn
4.  Add chickpeas, kale, and dried minced onion.  Stir ingredients thoroughly to combine.
5.  Add 1 cup water and smoked salt, to taste.  Cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, and adding more water as necessary, until kale is softened (roughly 20 mins.)
6.  Serve and enjoy!

Smoked salt is really key in this dish.  You could also buy pre-minced garlic for a quicker prep.
