Ingredients
2 cups fresh kale greens, roughly chopped
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ cup crushed croutons
¼ cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Prepare the Kale
Wash and dry the kale. Add it to a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and massage until it turns bright green.
Crisp the Chickpeas
Place rinsed and drained chickpeas into a greased air fryer. Air fry at 300°F for 15 minutes on low heat (no oil or seasoning yet).
Once dried and crunchy, spray lightly with oil, add the seasoning, and toss to coat.
Air fry for an additional 5–10 minutes at 300°F until the desired crispiness is reached. Let cool.
Assemble the Salad
Combine the kale, croutons, Parmesan, chickpeas, and your preferred amount of Caesar dressing in a bowl. Toss until well mixed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, flavorful Caesar salad!
