SALAD IN A JAR

Steps:

• For the crispy chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Pat the chickpeas dry with paper towels. Transfer to a bowl. Add the oil, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne and paprika. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer in a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring once halfway through to promote even browning, until the chickpeas are browned and crispy, about 30 minutes.
• Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper.
• Assemble the salads: Pour 2 tablespoons of the dressing into each of two 16-ounce mason jars. Top with the kale, plums, almonds and 1/4 cup crispy chickpeas (reserve the remaining chickpeas for snacking). Seal the lids. Shake the jars to combine just before serving.

MEDITERRANEAN SALAD WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thaw shrimp, shell and remove tails. Heat oil in skillet, add garlic and hot pepper flakes. Saute shrimp until opaque. Set aside in serving bowl.
• Combine all salad ingredients. Toss with dressing (use purchased dressing, or try one of many excellent 'Zaar choices). Serve immediately, topping with shrimp.
• You may want to reduce the amount of dressing used, or put less salt in if making from scratch - the olives and feta add saltiness.
• Grilled shrimp are very nice.
