Kale and Roasted Chickpea Caesar Salad

(23)
"Kale and Roasted Chickpea Caesar Salad with roasted Brussel Sprouts and crispy baked tortillas, drenched in creamy tahini Cesar dressing. 🥬 This is by far one of the best salads I have ever made. I infused the dressing with CDB oil but you don’t need to."
