Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces gluten-free pasta
  • 5 cups de-stemmed and chopped kale
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Once cooked, drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse the chickpeas; pat them dry with a towel. Toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes until crispy.
  3. In a large bowl, massage the chopped kale until tender. Combine it with the cooled pasta and roasted chickpeas.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
