• 1 cup quinoa (cooked)

• you can add other toppings if you’d like, like feta - it’s totally optional, but I definitely do add feta to mine.

PREP

• take some olive oil and massage it into your kale. It makes is more soft and easy to digest.

• cook quinoa according to package. Set aside.

• finely chop all veggies & assemble into a bowl

• add all dressing ingredients to a jar and mix until combined. I make my own dressing. I don’t typically eat creamy dressing with this salad.

• Totally optional: top with a sprinkle of chopped almonds, red pepper flakes and/or sesame seeds.

• Enjoy!
