Classic Kale & Chickpea Salad with Red Wine Vinegar Dressing recipe! Easy and loaded with protein! Exploring Healthy Foods

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Quick post today! I want to share a kale and chickpea salad with a classic red wine vinegar dressing. Kale and chickpea salads are a common pre-made salad found at grocery stores and so on. These are great if you are looking for something healthy while on the go. But today I wanted to share a recipe that you can make at home! It’s simple ingredients with a very easy red wine vinegar dressing. I love this recipe especially in the winter time because it is full of vibrant colours!
