I think kale would go well with garbanzos. You might want to blanch it first because chard is milder
Ten pounds?
Kale, like cabbage, will keep a long time in the refrigerator. The link is to a nice kale salad I posted a while ago.

Sorry, I can't help. Did some research, is it "baby kale?" If so, there seem to be
a few salad recipes. I think would work with your roasted garbanzo's. ((A few of my recipes have both kale and swiss chard together)) I also found a few that call for shredded kale, which is a different twist, in the event that your kale is larger, and not as tender. Lastly, just going through my cookbooks... 10lbs!! I definitely would find a way to use it. Most of the recipes call for a lb or two. I think it would be expensive to replace it.
Your menu above sounds wonderful!!!
Have fun, looks like the weather will cooperate!
Best,

I used kale with this recipe - even skeptical DH had seconds!
I only had 1 bunch so I made a 1/2 batch following Barb's suggestions for including the stems, reducing the broth and cutting back on the oil (only used 1/4 cup)- we loved it. The kale cooked down quite a bit - I was thinking that I might like 2 bunches with 1 can of garbanzos if I made it again, even though the kale is "strong." I'll be looking for chard and plan to add shrimp the next time I make this! Colleen

Thanks, guys! I'll blanch first and use it.

I didn't blanch - cooked down just fine for 10 minutes in broth
I don't think you need the extra step! Colleen
