Ingredients
Onions:
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced and rinsed
Chickpeas:
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained well and dried on paper towels
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon zaatar or dried mint
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Salad:
2 bunches Tuscan kale, sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 teaspoon zaatar
Directions
- For the onions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring the vinegar, sugar and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat to dissolve the sugar. Place the onions in a small bowl and pour the hot mixture over them. Toss well to coat. Allow to cool to room temperature for 1 hour before using.
- For the chickpeas: Meanwhile, toss the chickpeas with the olive oil, lemon zest, zaatar and salt. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes. Drain well on paper towels.
- For the salad: Place the Tuscan kale in a large bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and massage the salt into the kale. Add the olive oil, vinegar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup of the onions without their liquid, all of the chickpeas, feta and zaatar. Toss to combine and serve.
Cook’s Note
The remaining onions can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
