Rice Salad with Chickpeas and Kale

Step 1

Start by preparing your rice.  I use microwavable rice from Trader Joe’s and it only takes 3 minutes to prepare, which I love!  If using dry rice or another dry grain, cook according to package directions and set aside to let cool.

Step 2

To a large bowl, add the cooked and cooled rice, chickpeas, kale, and all the rest of the vegetables and fresh herbs.  Then add in the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and salt and pepper.

Step 3

Mix everything together well and then add in the feta cheese and sunflower seeds.  Mix again and season with more salt and pepper, to taste.  Also, feel free to add in extra lemon juice!  Enjoy!
