Warm Kale Quinoa Salad
Posted by on
- 1/2 cup dry quinoa* (pre-rinsed)
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cups kale
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, chopped
- 1/4 cup coriander/cilantro, chopped
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice from one large lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 fresh garlic clove minced
- Sea salt
- Pepper
- Combine quinoa and water in a pot. Bring to a soft boil on the stovetop. Reduce to a simmer with the lid on. Stirring every so often until you see the outer ring of the quinoa separate. This is when it's fluffy and perfect (about 15 minutes max).
- In a large salad bowl, combine all the ingredients except the avocado, dressing, and seasoning. Once quinoa is ready, mix it in with the salad. You want the quinoa to be hot so it warms the ingredients. Drizzle dressing over top of salad and top with chopped avocado, cilantro, sea salt and pepper.
