- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or regular milk
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Wash kale, remove the stems, chop into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil, chickpeas, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Stir and cook until chickpeas are warmed through and crispy, 7-10 minutes.
- If making your own caesar dressing, add all ingredients to a high powered blender and blend until creamy.
