Recipe: Lemony Garbanzo Kale Salad with Tuna

^[1]Summary: Light, lemony, packed with protein and nutritious kale, this is a main-dish salad that satisfies for dinner or lunch the next day, if you have leftovers.

Ingredients

1 (15- or 16-ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 (5-ounce) can Tonno solid light tuna in olive oil (you will use the oil)
2-3 tablespoons red onion, sliced paper thin
2-3 large leaves Redbor kale, stem removed and leaves cut in a chiffonade
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 lemon (you will use 1 teaspoon zest and 2 tablespoons juice from it)
2 tablespoons olive oil (I used Calolea Meyer Lemon Olive Oil ^[2])
2-3 tablespoons fresh basil cut in a chiffonade
2-3 tablespoons fresh mint cut in a chiffonade
Freshly ground pepper
A pinch of EACH of the following:

Instructions

In a large bowl, add garbanzos, tuna with its oil (this will contribute to the dressing), onion, kale, garlic, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, olive oil, basil, mint, pepper and all dried spices. Stir and toss to mix well. Taste and add salt if needed. (The tuna and garbanzos will likely have salt in them, so taste before adding more.)
Allow to rest for at least half an hour before serving (better for an hour or two).
If you wish to serve immediately, massage the oil and lemon juice into the cut kale leaves for about 3-5 minutes to soften them, then add all the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. You can soften the kale either by hand massaging it (for instant consumption), or by letting time do the trick.
Serves 4 (main dish for dinner)

Quick notes

This salad holds up very well in the refrigerator for several days. In fact, I recommend making it at least 2-4 hours before you want to eat it, so all the flavors mix and mingle!

Variations

Try making a wrap out of it the next day for lunch. Wrap in tortilla or soft lavash.

This is part of the #SundaySupper movement ^[3], an idea to bring the family together for a home-cooked meal on Sunday. My family is lucky enough to be able to eat together each evening, but on occasion we find ourselves far-flung. It always feels better to reconnect over the dinner table, doesn’t it?

This week’s theme is “Beat the Heat,” which means all recipes need to be prepared quickly, and preferably, without the use of an oven. Grilling or the crockpot are definitely perfect to beat that summer stove heat, as are cool, crisp salads, chilled desserts, no-bake dishes or refreshing drinks.

I can’t think of a better way to beat the heat than a no-cook main-dish salad. Let the adventures in kale continue!
