Kale Quinoa Avocado Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 2/3 cup quinoa
  • 1 bunch kale, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Combine 1 and 3/4 cups of water with quinoa in a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Gradually decrease the heat to a lower setting, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed all the water. Remove from heat and let it cool down.
2
Prepare a steamer by placing a perforated basket into another saucepan with 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a boil, then add the kale and cover the saucepan with a lid. Steam the kale for approximately 45 seconds, or until it's hot and tender. Transfer the steamed kale to a large serving plate.
3
Top the steamed kale with a mixture of cooked quinoa, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, bell pepper strips, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
4
Mix together olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined. Pour the dressing over the salad to add flavor.
