Preparation
1
Roast Chickpeas

  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  • Drain and rinse chickpeas; dry thoroughly with paper towels. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Ranch Spice (all for 4), and ½ tsp salt (1 tsp for 4).

  • Roast on top rack for 13 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then). TIP: It’s natural for chickpeas to pop a bit while roasting.

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.

  • Quarter lemon. Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces.

3
Make Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, half the mustard, half the hot sauce, 1 tsp soy sauce (we sent more), ½ tsp garlic powder, and juice from two lemon wedges. (For 4, use all the mustard, all the hot sauce, 2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, and juice from whole lemon.) TIP: If dressing seems too thick, add water ½ tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

  • Season generously with pepper.

  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.

4
Make Croutons

  • Cut baguette into ½-inch cubes. TIP: Slice baguette lengthwise, like you’re making a sandwich, then cut each half into ½-inch strips to make cubing extra easy.

  • In a medium bowl, toss bread with remaining garlic powder, 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  • Once chickpeas have roasted 13 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully push chickpeas to one side of sheet. Spread bread out on empty side. (For 4, leave chickpeas roasting. Use a second sheet for bread; toast on middle rack.)

  • Return to top rack until croutons are golden brown and crisp, 5-7 minutes.

5
Assemble Salad

  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add kale and a drizzle of olive oil; lightly season with salt. Using your hands, massage kale until leaves are tender, 30-60 seconds. TIP: Don’t skip this step—massaging helps the kale leaves wilt slightly, lending a tender (never fibrous!) texture.

  • Add tomatoes, croutons, half the chickpeas, half the Parmesan, and as much dressing as you like; toss to combine.

6
Finish & Serve

  • Divide salad between plates or shallow bowls. Top with remaining chickpeas and remaining Parmesan. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

  • Slice chicken crosswise; serve atop salad.
