Add a little extra flavor to this mediterranean style kale salad. This chili lime roasted chickpeas add protein and flavor to this salad (and can even be made on their own for a snack). Add in salty sweet sun dried tomatoes, tangy goat cheese, and a perfectly creamy sweet and spicy salad dressing to top off the kale. Perfect for Meatless Monday dinners or lunches for the week!
